[QUOTE="schuh, post: 368246, member: 33295"] I have recently aquired a P520 and on the whole am quite pleased with it. I am still at the stage where most of my photos are taken on the auto setting. The problem is that the auto setting seems to be unable to set the correct exposure when photographing bright beach scenes. My area has beaches with extremely white sand, and when taking a beach shot it is seriously overexposed. I have on occasion used the manual exposure setting at -2.0 and gotten good exposures. The scene mode for "beach" produces identical results as "auto". Question is: Shouldn't the "auto" setting be able to compensate for the bright beach scene or am I asking too much from "auto" [/QUOTE]
