That sucks! Can do it manually then still, or get a handheld meter and get it spot on everytime :thumbs:

Very handy in dealing with difficult exposure situations, use the Exposure Bracketing feature which makes use of the Exp. Comp. by giving you a metered exposure, then taking frames both above and below the metered exposure at 1/3rd, 1/2 or 1/4 stop increments.

As an example, if you are photographing a plane flying against a cloudy sky, the camera will automatically meter the scene very dark as it thinks the sky shouldn't be bright.

You should expect this to happen, so apply exposure compensation to force the camera to go darker or lighter than what it thinks to make sure the plane comes out properly.

on the D40 its in the menu where you change ISO ect

goes up from -5 to +5
