As I mentioned before I generally take a test exposure or two and check the histo until I am happy. The AE is easily fooled and each subject/location has it's own needs. I would do that with any camera, especially if the images are particularly important.
On one of my first trips to the London botanic gardens photographing flowers I blew out a small white flower which I particularly wanted, it only flowers for a week or so, I haven't caught it in flower since.
If anything the main part of the image is under exposed but the flower is blown. I should have bracketed like crazy. You live and learn, especially that highlights can NOT be recovered from digital.
This was D1 with 60 f2.8 Micro. All my other images that day were fine.
