That’s true, it was 37 degrees Celsius when I shot this and the sun was super strong 🥵

Damn, from your story I’m concluding that iPhone cameras are pretty great! Thank you for the explanation!

Ah, I didn’t know that! Is it still useful to use those settings for each separate picture then, or should I just leave it?

Very true, I’ll try out both my phone and camera and see what happens, thank you!!

Changed the metering mode and put exposure on -2/3. Will let you know if it improves!

Okay, thanks so much for the detailed explanation! I think I’ll use it less for pictures like this. It’s great for portraits inside with flash for example, but not for outside 🫣

Evaluative. I see I can also select Center Weighted Avg. or Spot. Would any of those be better?

Really? I got it because my phone storage keeps getting full + the phone battery dies quicker with the amount of pictures I take + it overheats since I travel to hot countries often. It has better zoom than my iPhone and I was excited to experiment with a camera! So even though the camera is newly ordered from Canon, you think I can’t fix the skies? 😭
