I did a lot of looking at people's pictures on dpreview when I was  
considering that camera. Lots of overexposed pictures. A couple of  
guys with beautiful portfolios and EXIF information had turned off  
the ESP metering. They used the center weighted option and set  
exposure compensation to minus 1/3 or minus 2/3. You might try that.  
And keep an eye on the histogram.
