This is what I've experienced, too, and have not been able to figure it out as well. So, I'm interested in what everyone has to say.


But, what I've done to get around this, is to set the camera to manual, use a shutter speed of 1/160th or 1/200, and set the aperture to 6.3 or 7.1.


This gives a nearly properly exposed image. A bit of PS touch up (fill the background some) and the image looks good.
