And all I can add to that is that I am not an engineer, but I can read English, and unless you can show me an analysis of the functioning of the DMR's sensor that explains how it is, in basic principle, different from all the other sensor's out there, I'm afraid one has to conclude that even if your system works brilliantly for you, it suggests that you are either losing a great deal of data, or you have a metering problem. (And of course if your exposure compensation takes care of that metering problem, then it doesn't much matter how the sensor does or doesn't work, because you've got it working for you.)
