I hope the group members don't mind if I ask off topic questions.
I recently shot graduation pictures with my Elan 7e. The pictures I shot
were mostly consist of asian people with light/yellowish and dark/brownish
skin colors. I turned ECF off and used the middle focusing-point. When
shooting indoors, I got different results even though the elan 7e showed the
same aparture and shutter speed.
Exposure is determined by aparture and shutter speed, isn't it?
I always pointed the middle focusing-point to the face first, recompose, and
then took the pictures (with the camera's flash). I used P-mode most of the
time. The pictures with dark/brownish skin colored people always have
correct exposures; pictures with light/yellowish skin colored people tend to
be overexposured; on both cases, elan 7e showed the same aparture and
shutter speed values. Shouldn't the results be the same since every other
factors are the same (same room, camera, flash, lighting, lens, clothing,
apparture, shutter speed. The only difference is the skin colors)??
I should have used a gray card, shouldn't I?
Thanks,
Jansen.
