One issue I have yet to over come is a room with normal or low light and open spaces or large windows with bright light.
This happens a lot in weddings: example this last weekend - under a large tent so it was ambient lit and shadowy. The back and sides of the tent are open and it was bright outside.
This is what the camera does, it closed the iris to around F stop 5 or so to compensate for the light. The background is then exposed correctly.
Problem is you can't see the bride and groom now, they are too dark.
Solutions I've tried:
My in camera ND filter helps some but not near enough.
There is a backlight function in my camera that I can use. It does brighten up the subjects a little more but they look milky and grainy to me.
If I turn the Iris down and turn the gain up to where I can see the subjects better but the outside background is just blown out white...
Nothing seems to hit a happy medium for me.
