burnt embers

I am still trying to figure out how the Olympus mjuII selects exposures.

In some situations, like the top two of these photos, it under-exposes, and at other times it nails it.

My impression is that the brighter areas get more attention than the shadows.

Perhaps though it is also the older film which might warrant a bit of a change in rating to compensate.
