Since I dont use AF lenses, the only time I ever use AE is with A series lenses. And when I do, I usually get good exposures with Program mode and compensation set to zero. Camera is *istDS.

I often have to use -.7 to -1 ev compensation. I find this consistent across old glass. With the kit lens and thr 12-24 it seems to do a bit better, but still overexposes at times. I generally use matrix metering. Even in well lit scenes in daylight. Sometimes with the same glass it works fine at , but I'm forced to chimp constantly to look for overexposure. Also the meter seems to jump around on the same scene. I tried some shots between my k-7 and it was matching settings, so I can't decide it my meter is working properly. There is generally a 1ev difference if I compare to live view with live view giving the correct/better exposure reading. Any thoughts from you guys? I bought this k-5 six months ago and I don't remember making -.7 the norm on my k-7. I usually only had to add negative compensation at night on that camera.... > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- Documenting Life in Rural Ontario. www.caughtinmotion.com http://brooksinthecountry.blogspot.com/ York Region, Ontario, Canada -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
