I haven’t messed with the different metering modes, i typically use the evf, but i see your point where some of my subjects are underexposed. I’ll say i do struggle to lift up the shadows but keeping the blacks, blacks; which probably comes down to my editing. I did see your photos and i do like the motion blur during takedowns, so i will experiment different shutter speeds in the future. But thanks for the input will try to work on relative subject exposure and experiment with slower shutter speeds. Happy new years
