[LRFlex] Re: Art's posting on EOS exposure problems

Art -

Gotcha.

The problem is that all is not OK by the display. The overexposure is visible in that the displayed shutter speeds are not halving as one would expect. If the snaps still looked OK, I'd just figure that the marked diaphragm stops were off and not care. The camera is gradually overexposing as the aperture on stopped-down lenses is decreased. (The return to proper exposure at f11-16 could be just an effect of "things gettin' too dark in there" and falling out of the meter's range in my indoor test. The bright light outdoor tests were the ones that first demonstrated the consistent overexposure of files shot at 5.6 on aperture priority as opposed to the same shots exposed at 2.8, which looked fine.

<x-tad-bigger>Make sure that you're in aperture priority AE and focus wide open, then stop down to the taking aperture and look at the display in the finder just to make sure that all is OK. you still must realize that the meters still consider everything as 18% gray, so you may have to dial in some exposure compensation.</x-tad-bigger>
