Use matrix metering and try again.
One area where the 31 Ltd especially falls down is high contrast scenes such as branches of a tree against sky. it doesn't like it and will give you chromatic aberration especially the wider the aperture.
What should I set it on, Peter? I couldn't find matrix metering like Adam suggested. I looked in the manual. The camera gave me 3 settings, but would only let me use the bottom two. it was on spot, but it always has been. This is making me feel like throwing them in the trash can.

I can't find matrix. Where is it, exactly? I'll do it right now.
