How to determine when the midtones are properly exposed using the exposure module?

If shooting RAW for later processing use ETTR, if working for Reuters use Jpegs and expose for the subject ignoring over exposed and under exposed areas (though with ten stops of dynamic range having detail in undesirable areas can be an issue).

Weddings are an interesting scenario where the photographer comes under a lot of pressure to show the pictures to the bride earlier, and yet what is on the rear of the camera as a Jpeg may be underexposed in a safety margin to retain the bride’s dress detail.
