exposure on the R-D1
exposure on the R-D1
I have no focussing/ rangefinder problem with my R-D1. So
far I have tried it with Minolta Rokkor 28mm, Summicron 35mm,
and Konica Hexanon 60mm/1.2 (LTM), and Elmarit 90mm. I am quite pleasantly surprised by the quality of the low-light pictures (using ISO 1600) I took with the Hexanon wide open.
I haven't encountered shutter freeze, or have any problem with the LCD and the menu. I am new to digital photography, so could someone tell me what hot pixels is all about?
However, on photos with huge expanses of sky or sunlit water surface, I tend to get under-exposed results. Clear skies could appear a little overcast. I learn from the forums that this is better than having the highlights bleached. But I want to develop a good/efficient metering method. So does that mean I should aim a little low (using AE) and then recompose, so as to avoid under-exposure?
Any comments and advice would be highly appreciated.
