[OM] Another question

This list is great! A couple of weeks ago I asked a question about using the T32 flash with the OM2S and got a very good answer. I used it in the OTF mode while on vacation and most of my flash pictures came out great.

Now I have another question. I took a some pictures in the shade on a bright sunny day. I used the OM2S in manual mode with the spot meter on the faces of the subjects such that it indicated a correct exposure. There was bright background. When I got the prints back from the processor (Wal-Mart) the subjects were greatly underexposed. The people in the background were correctly exposed.

What is going on here? I thought that the spot meter would indicate the correct exposure for the subject in the prism regardless to the background. Should I have use exposure compensation? If so can you describe the proper technique?

Thanks in advance
