Learner Posted November 16, 2015 Share #1 Â Posted November 16, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just wondering ... Â Does the T have a tendency to overexpose? Â What I see in the Visoflex or on the display in live-view appears darker than the resulting shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Hi Learner, Take a look here Does the T have a tendency to overexpose?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
FeralCoton Posted November 16, 2015 Share #2 Â Posted November 16, 2015 It seems to over expose about one half stop, though I haven't noticed if that is still true with the latest firmware. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy Posted November 16, 2015 Share #3 Â Posted November 16, 2015 Yeah, a little. I mostly use -1/3 correction. But I know people , who like the exposure as it is. It seems to be a matter of personal taste. BRDGS Christof Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Morley Posted November 16, 2015 Share #4  Posted November 16, 2015 Mine has always over exposed and so I have set it up to a permanent minus 2/3 stop setting which certainly on my camera then equates to very slight under exposure which I preffer as it is better then my risking having any highlight areas blowing out, which would not be recoverable, whereas any resulting underexposed shadow areas are. Hope this helps? Best to all. Don Morley    Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 16, 2015 Share #5 Â Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks Dan I would agree and have started to experiment with underexposing by 1 stop or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle123 Posted November 16, 2015 Share #7  Posted November 16, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Mine has behaved in everything except the brightest conditions outside. Since I shoot manually,  I figured I was favoring the EVF image too much for exposure.  Not sure.  But after reading the article, it might be a characteristic of the sensor.  In any case, never hurts to underexpose a bit and correct later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom0511 Posted November 16, 2015 Share #8 Â Posted November 16, 2015 I also use -1/3 - -1 exp comp nearly all the time. Most of the time -2/3 I think dynamic range is one area where we can see a slight disadvantage of dx sensor vs full frame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hteasley Posted November 16, 2015 Share #9 Â Posted November 16, 2015 You can brighten the EVF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VVJ Posted November 16, 2015 Share #10 Â Posted November 16, 2015 It most certainly does, in most cases -0.6 works best for me... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencoyote Posted November 18, 2015 Share #11  Posted November 18, 2015 I also tend to agree that it is a bit of a matter of taste. However like most people, to preserve the highlights and because of my sensibilities I tend to shoot between -1/3 to -1  One thing that I don't think other people have pointed out is how much this is relative to the metering mode. The camera likely designed to meter to about 18% grey. The area of the sensor over which it calculates that 18% is determined by the metering mode. They have multi mode, center weighted, and spot. I personally find the center weighted works better for me than the default multi mode.  A larger theoretical question are those metering modes sufficient or are they just a legacy of the pre-CMOS sensor era? Given the true nature of ISO as it is implemented in sensors and the unrecoverable nature of highlights maybe a new metering mode which protects the highlights. I haven't played extensively with the scene modes (does anybody?) but I wouldn't be surprised with modes like Landscape and Sunset have entirely different metering modes.

Guest VVJ Posted November 19, 2015 Share #13 Â Posted November 19, 2015 how you dial in -0,6? Â Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean in camera, I was referring to the post processing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
