 right i can put this one to bed now ,it seems that using partial metering is the way to go with this camera (i've always used matrix before) and having luckily managed a hours session with some buzzards against grey skies blue skies and backlit to .it seems that WITH MY LENS SET UP (put that in as a provisio) you need for b.i.f or backlit birds at least 1.67 positive exp compensation ,i think in fact that 2 full stops would be better .what ever it does now appear that the new sensor and workings etc work this way and a huge sigh of relief its not the camera thats playing up ..
as i said before this camera just does not meter like previous nikons ,picture below taken at +1.67 but i think 2 full stops would be better ,hard to tell till you get them on computer .never ever had to go this high before ,although it may change in winter light ??
