Rich is this broken metering a failure of the kit or is it caused by a drop? I'm sure that it should be easily fixable but I guess you may be out of warranty.
I guess you have checked the metering modes and the camera isnt stuck in Spot metering.
Yes, both matrix (or whatever Fuji call that) and spot over expose. It's the same issue I talked about before, consistently overexposes now. I'm basically shooting manually looking at the histogram and adjusting.
I a perverse kind of way it kind of fits the feel of the camera, and being someone who only got into photography late with very capable meters available in some ways I'm learning more from this failure which is kind of rewarding.
I might get it fixed at some point, but I'm in no hurry.
Interestingly in portrait mode it actually does OK a lot of the time, but in Landscape it nearly always overexposes.
