NP! Spot metering adjusts the camera so that it only uses a small spot in the middle of your image to adjust the exposure. Most cameras allows you to switch between matrix, center-weighted or spot-metering. Because your camera is set so far back and also capturing your dark interior, spot metering is necessary to prevent over exposure due metering off the dark interior. If your Contour does not have spot-metering you can try center-weighted metering or moving your camera forward so less of the dark interior will affect the exposure. Play around with the settings to see what works best for you.
