Paul, are you shooting with program metering? It will tend to overexpose
highlights if you have a wide exposure range, since it is designed to
bring out shadow details.
I've seen it written many times that digital is like slides in its
exposure range. It has a narrower exposure range than color negative
film. Highlights will get overexposed easily.
I have my *ist D and my two PZ-1ps set to center-weighted averaging, and
occasionally use spot metering. I will almost never use program metering.
