If the ambient light level is high, then you really want the eye piece covered in any AE mode, because stray light entering the eyepiece will throw the metering off. Even shading it with your hand when depressing the shutter will work.
From: "Stephen Hoffman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I understand that when the shutter release button is depressed halfway then focus and exposure is set. If I'm trying to take a self-portrait and focus on the chair I will sit in, will the exposure be set for the chair also? I want the focus set there but I want the exposure set for me and not the chair. This is using Programmed AE mode. I'm sure there's a simple answer but I can't think of it. Thanks.
