When I trigger it, it asks to 'Stop the stage, and set the camera become center position'. Then I press Enter, and it asks whether the camera switch is on.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09865964012029331622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689576260312218127.post-90539374837366751152008-06-24T10:08:00.000-05:002008-06-24T10:08:00.000-05:00I found this site too if you really are having inc...I found this site too if you really are having incorrect exposures.<BR/><BR/>http://www.esnips.com/web/DSCServiceManualMy BBB Projectshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12652484763602749883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689576260312218127.post-2667643229726002792008-06-24T09:34:00.000-05:002008-06-24T09:34:00.000-05:00How long do you have your exposure timer set for? ...How long do you have your exposure timer set for? If it's 3 seconds then maybe it's reseting before you take the photo.<BR/><BR/>To properly use center spot more you should use a long exposure timer or the exposure lock button.<BR/><BR/>Point the spot at the area you want properly exposed and lock the exposure in. Then set the focus on the desired area and then compose the image in camera and capture the image.<BR/><BR/>If you don't lock the exposure, then recompose the scene in camera after setting the exposure (while half pressing the shutter still) and use the AF button to focus the scene. Then do a final compose in camera and capture the image. This is where the 3 second timer is not long enough.<BR/><BR/>Also make sure the center spot is on a large enough area to determine the lighting conditions.<BR/><BR/>If you're shooting skin then get the exposure reading from your hand (in the same light) and put the camera in manual mode. You may have to chimp at the histogram to get the correct exposure setting. Works every time. Then you can concentrate on focus and composition after that and not have to worry about exposure until the light changes.<BR/><BR/>I have heard that some Pentax (and clones) are a bit under exposed and have noticed my K10D at times can be 1 stop under especially with old manual lenses.<BR/><BR/>Shoot RAW and with compensation adjustment (like you are) and you'll be fine.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps.<BR/><BR/>TimMy BBB Projectshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12652484763602749883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689576260312218127.post-22795765732065587122008-06-24T04:32:00.000-05:002008-06-24T04:32:00.000-05:00I have a Samsung GX10, and I found that when take ...I have a Samsung GX10, and I found that when take pictures in the spot metering mode, they are very, very dim. I have to raise the exposure by about 2 f-stops to get an acceptable picture. Too bad.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09865964012029331622noreply@blogger.com
