bluebear Posted August 13, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 13, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have not used my X1 very much yet but have noticed that outdoors the rear screen always seems dark. It makes me think the camera is under exposing. I applied some EV which brightened it but when reviewing images later indoors the “dark” images were perfect and the others over exposed! LCD brightness is set to high. Is this just a feature of the camera and one reason why people use the external viewfinder? Still being bowled over by the IQ of this beauty!

jippiejee Posted August 14, 2011 Share #2 Posted August 14, 2011 Exactly. Use the histogram for exposures, not your lcd. In bright sunlight it's nearly impossible to see anything at all on the lcd, that's why the optical viewfinder is a must in my humble opinion.

Robert_Turi_photography Posted August 14, 2011 Share #3 Posted August 14, 2011 hey boys... I am new here but thought i would jump in. Try using one of these: Hoodman HoodLoupe Professional LCD Screen Loupe H-LPP3 B&H Photo it will solve the problem somewhat. I say somewhat because the X1 display is oversaturated and over contrasted anyway so its still a guess. But at least you will be able to see it :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nippa Posted August 14, 2011 Share #4 Posted August 14, 2011 One of the joys of owning an X1 is never knowing how good the shots are until you get home:) Out in the field even great shots look quite dull on that low quality LCD display so now when using the viewfinder I don't bother chimping.
