simple M7 question

[John Camp]

Does the M7 set at AE tend to underexpose?

no.

(That was too simple an answer for the RFF software so that's why I'm writing this--threads have to have at least 10 characters).

Mine don't, so long as they're properly aimed. I often use the AE lock, metering at the ground, then depressing the shutter release 1/2 way, until the upper LED dot shows. This usually works well.

No, for the same reason that the meter on an M6 or MP won't "recommend" underexposure--it's a simple semi-spot (look @ the white dot on your shutter &/or check your manual for the coverage), not a center-weighted pattern like that on a G2, Bessa, or Hexar RF.

that's what i do with the zi, meter off the ground.
so simple yet it works so well.

Mine does not, why should it?

I know!!!

(and I must add many other words too because the system says my message is too short)

my commercial photog friend Rolf told me once that cameras don't over- or underexpose, but photographers do.
