The long answer is that you are going to shoot many hundred frames learning how the meter and sensor handle light. Once you understand just how the camera will work in strong backlighting or with extreme side lighting then you will know how to use exposure lock or where to point the camera before setting your exposure. Really no different than when you are breaking in a new film or developer. At first nothing works quite like you planned and then at some point it falls in to place and it becomes an extension of your eye and hand. As a certain Canadian states; Geesh, look at click that click.
