+1 what bobojo said.
You can also just lift the shadow area a bit in post processing.
Personally I'd use a combination of increasing exposure compensation slightly as well as lifting the shadows slightly in post processing.

thank you so much everyone. i am going to try to adjust the Exposure next time. But may i know what is "SPOT METERING"? I go through the menu, i can't find spot metering? are you talking about http://www.fujivsfuji.com/fujifilm-metering/

This looks fine. With a single shot I don't think you can get everything well-exposed. You either blow out the surroundings or you end up with an underexposed shadow area.
Nothing some simple PP can't correct:

should i set the setting to JPEG’s+RAW or RAW
should i shoot in P or A
i am really confused. a new toy to me.. and i am lost.

Shooting in raw only helps in that u are able to recover more details in PP later, one strength of Fuji is their sooc JPEG colors ; making shooting raw prob a waste (in this sense la)
Go for A mode, read up on Aperture and Exposure adjustment and practice and practice and u should be able to handle most situations already.
To me P mode is just like auto mode, and using auto mode on such s camera is honestly .. A waste.
It's the dial under the shutter speed dial.
I've never touched an XT-1, but that's what a couple of seconds on google told me
See 1m 27s mark of this video:

Take the manual out of the box (or download the pdf), see pg 53:

Thank you very much for your help. I am going to read.
Before you dive into settings I would suggest going through some basic photography tutorials, such as:
- Exposure triangle
- Metering
- Bracketing
- Depth of Field
- White Balance
The XT1 does require some knowledge on the technical side of photography. Only then you can understand what settings are used for which situations. Of course, don't just read. Experiment with the settings since you have the camera in your hands.

To TS,
I agree with bobojo and edutilos-,
you can't have everything in perfect exposed in the same frame some times, as the lighting won't be same brightness in everywhere.
as you can see the man and his goods are in the shade, yes you can use spot metering, exposure compensation, but is either the man exposed properly and everywhere else overexposed, or just like your shot here
Yes, of course you can fix it in post.
upon looking at this photo, may I ask this what is the subject in this photo? what you try to tell your viewers?
if the exposure can be perfectly like the way you wanted it.
so what is the message in this photo? anyway to improve the composition? angle? framing?
Yes bobojo, I will experiment . Now the XT1 is always with me where ever I go.
catchlights,
you are right, i must learn the angle/ exposure. maybe i should stand on the right or stand under the umbrella. but shy la.. dare not go closer to him. scared uncle scold me. that is why i stand so far. i will practice more. learn more. thanks for all the information.

...well, as per our PM and agreed
, hence, the 'Fill-Flash' effect shot as shown below for your reference...and hope that's what you've been looking for...?
***Do PM me if you need any further guidance...
The degradation of image quality is understandable, but the uncle is now brighter than rest of the scene... :bigeyes: Especially his motorbike....well, as per our PM and agreed
***Do PM me if you need any further guidance...
...of cos, as already stated this is a 'Fill-Flash' effect and not go by multi, centre or spot metering method of exposure results...thus, brighter or dimmer is up to individuals' 'taste' to tune for the 'fill-flash' effect...
...hence, the difference and things/subjects that's nearer of cos there's a different to some distance subjects
