Many good cameras can take the whole frame into account for metering exposure and make a good decision, but I'm not surprised you might have to give a Rabal a hand and point it at what to meter or set exposure in some way yourself.
As in most cases, gear matters...

Right. Excellent doggo. Only normies are incapable of using manual exposure. Exactly the people who will say, 'photography is so easy all you have to do is press a button'.

If you really can't deal with ME, shoot RAW files and adjust the exposure in editing.
