Miha,

I will check this as I believe exposure is locked on the R7 when you
first depress the shutter button.  I think you can then recompose, focus
and shoot as you describe.

Thanks


Good Morning, Walter!

I think you are right ... an exposure problem and scanner compensation.

The R5 & later all have spot metering. Select Spot metering, "A" (Aperture preferred) mode, and use a half-press of the shutter release to lock the exposure. Pick the "Important" bit in the picture. Lock the exposure, recompose and fire. In 50,000 exposures with the R5, R6 & R8, this method has failed me no more than a dozen times. Even in strong back light, directly against the sun.

Cheers!
