Using a Canon, I think this has nothing to with Canon. It is poor photographers who don't spot meter people's faces. And, yes, don't shoot manually.

I usually work hard to keep detail in the highlights, and usually shoot in manual exposure. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
