This list is great! A couple of weeks ago I asked a question about using
the T32 flash with the OM2S and got a very good answer. I used it in the
OTF mode while on vacation and most of my flash pictures came out great.
Now I have another question. I took a some pictures in the shade on a
bright sunny day. I used the OM2S in manual mode with the spot meter on
the faces of the subjects such that it indicated a correct exposure. There
was bright background. When I got the prints back from the processor
(Wal-Mart) the subjects were greatly underexposed. The people in the
background were correctly exposed.
What is going on here? I thought that the spot meter would indicate the
correct exposure for the subject in the prism regardless to the
background. Should I have use exposure compensation? If so can you
describe the proper technique?
Thanks in advance
