Brian,

Thank you, I will give it a try. Good old Center Weighted Average (AKA: CWA). I used that with great success for years with my Nikons and Pentaxes, and never think to use it anymore, except when using shoe mounted flash.

I use it because it reduces the exposure a little more than pattern when there is a very small bright potion in the scene, like a bright cloud.  This darkening is automatically adjusted by Icontrast to produce a well exposed image with no blown highlights.
