Hi Chipbutty. By 'Matrix' do you mean 'Multi'? I had a look through some older X10 images and found this OOC JPEG that has roughly the same sky ratio. It's an aperture priority 12MP image with auto exposure with 'Multi' metering and no exposure correction. The exposure is what I would expect. What's a little scary about your shot is that the your daughter and landscape are underexposed and the sky is blown out. Does the XF-1 have the built in RAW converter? If so it's probably the only way of dealing with those pesky EXR sensor raw images. Phil
