Bear in mind you need to shoot raw, not jpg, in order to benefit from this.

In a tricky exposure situation, dial exposure compensation way down (-3 to -5 EV) and take the shot. You probably want a low-ish ISO selected too. Then in lightroom/whatever just crank the exposure slider up and fiddle with the levels & curves - easy way to not blow out your highlights.

Yep good point. RAW is amazing in that regard.
