Hi Mark.
Thank you for you help. That put me on the right track. So for now i lose the back focus, or have to make the switch in the menu. That is an okay solution (and the one they intended i guess), but would be nice with a dedicated button. I will check if that is possible (not sure what the button with the greet dot next to the compensation button is doing. Apparently nothing). I have to play around with the options now.
I see that its not fair to demand everything from an entry level camera. They have made an overall great job.
Thanks for the pef/dng explanation. I will shoot only DNG from now on then.
and the spot metering is not very obvious in the manual. I would prefer an actual spot metering button (to measure a point and then re-compose), but those two actions seem to be separate, unless if i AE lock in kombination with spot measuring.
Nice with a welcome, and that you took time to understand why i saw a problem.
Its about workflow i guess. I used to spot meter on a part of a face when taking quick portraits.
Tony here
gives a nice introduction, but he give the impression that spot metering is useless.
AE lock is related to spot metering, but its definitely not the same.
Checked you photos. Living in New Zealand and taking photos of mountains, is cheating.
