>From discussions with a 10D user I learned that this is a common digital problem. Part of the issue is that digital in some ways appears to not have the exposure range that film has. The digicams should be the same, but I haven't noted it very much in mine either. At any rate there is a hidden silver lining to this issue. Underexposing by several stops even is possible in digital due to the lack of grain. It may appear dark, but you should be able to bring it back in photoshop, and since there is little grain, you won't get the problems that you do with film that is underexposed.
The troublesome part, is that it seems that others on this list have been having problems with the metering being inconsistent on the *istD. If it always does the same thing in given conditions, no problem, one can adjust, but if it's all over the scale...back to the drawing board. I'm sitting here wondering about the antialiasing filter over the sensor, and possible lens flare issues. Were you using the proper hood on your lenses? Could it be this glare that depending completely on the angle to the light you happened to be at, is causing this type of problem? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 8:06 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: istD overexposure > > > Jostein asked: > > What metering mode do you use, and what kind of lenses? > > Multipattern metering; F and FA lenses. > > ERN > >
