At times when I take a vertical picutre, it seems that half the picture is a lot light than the other. Anyone else experience this and have any ideas how to fix it?

Is it a marketing department way of saying "your camera works even if you tilt it" or is something really changed regarding metering? And if something is changed, does the change apply when you switch the grip on or when you press the shutter button on the grip instead of the normal one? Just a thought I haven't been able to get out of my head...  /Uffe.

So, when you flip to a vert shot, a little mercury switch (or whatever they may be using) tells the camera to "think" about that bias of the sky being above the ground in the new orientation.

It really does sound like marketing gobbledegook, doesn't it, Uffe? But may someone out there knows different.
