Using My X-T2 with Center Weighted Metering

With my X-E1, X-E2, and X100T, I always use SAF or MF with spot metering. I usually shoot in RAW and always use the center point and recompose after focusing and metering. After getting my X-T2, I continued the same way.

But, on our recent vacation, I decided to shoot FINE jpegs and have switched to center weighted metering to give it a try. I also tried shooting a number of three and five shot exposure bracketing set to +/- 1 EV in continuous mode. I noticed that whether using single shot or bracketing, my images have been between a half a stop or more underexposed. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this.

0 EV result on a very bright sunny day

+1 EV shot and close to actual scene

-1 EV shot is too dark
