I agree... but I thought, maybe falsely, that when in Program AE modes, the shutter would not trip if an improper exposure combination was chosen.

To me it looks like the first three was out of the range of posible
aperures.

-----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Tom C [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 7. juli 2004 00:45 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: *ist D Metering Issue


I've put up four recent shots taken with the *ist D to demonstrate what I had earlier mentioned regarding a perceived metering anomaly.

The first three are badly overexposed. Exposure data is listed with the
photo. All were taken within a 60 second time span. All were taken with
multi-seg metering and Shutter Speed Priority AE mode. Image one was shot
at the exposure values the camera calculated for a 1 sec exposure with no EV
compensation. Realizing image 1 was overexposed, I adjusted EV -1.0 for
image 2, and EV -2.0 for image 3. Not understanding the results I shot
image 4 at much different settings with no EV compensation and the image is
properly exposed.


Two basic issues:

1.  Why the gross overexposure at slow shutter speeds?
2.  Why was there not a visible difference between images 1,2,3 (especially
1 and 2) when using EV compensation?
