I do tend to use manual exposure mode by far the most though.
How strange, I have the exact opposite with my D2x and D2Hs. D2x seems to expose more or less correctly, if anything underexpose. Whilst D2Hs tends to over expose and I often add -0.3 or -0.7 to matrix metering.

Its a question of knowing your kit and what to do in certain situations based on previous experience.
