Feels like washing your feet with your socks on to me?

Really? So you can balance your flash to the ambient light and capture a more natural photo. The flash helps freeze the motion. I do it ALL the time at dark wedding receptions.

Indeed. I do that at times too. Dim light can be very "dirty" and needs something to clean it up and make it look attractive.

Were you by chance shooting with the lens cap on?  On in the dark with an exposure of less than 2 minutes?  If so, you might have been experiencing the infamous LCD light leakage issue that people have been up in arms about recently.

This is so rude, the OP asked a ligitimate and interesting question, why make fun of his question. Just because you were scrued by Canon with a defective camera that you cannot return does not mean you can put your anger on other people and unrelated threads. Get a lawyer and go hammer Canon or live with it and don't bother others. the light leak issue has been discussed to death and almost forgotten. get a life >:(

I have a question to follow up.  This is an issue I've had and there seems to be a better way to fix it than another, and sometimes I get it wrong too.  Suppose I change my metering to spot, and meter on something darker than my object and keep the shutter button halfway depressed to keep the metering.  I know there are other ways, but suppose I chose this.  Then as I move my frame over to focus on my object, would I then have to be in AI Servo mode so that my metering would not change, but the focus would?  Thanks!

This isn't something I do much, but I suspect it would make more sense to meter, lock exposure and then change to focussing on the point you want.

Gotcha Phil!  Thanks.
