gasrocks,
Would you explain what the purpose of changing metering patterns is? In what situations would you want to use the three different metering patterns available on her camera?
I was thinking that the camera is trying to read the exposure of an entire area (dark background and bright flower ) and the results were not very accurate causing the flower to be overexposed and appear "shiny" in spots. By forcing the camera to take an exposure reading of the flower only and getting in close so it did not pick up the dark background I thought that should give a much better exposure reading on the flower and keep it from looking overexposed?
