Exposure Indicator reading in "Viewfinder" and "Display" are not the same
I recently purchased a new D5100 back in December and only recently noticed that the EV indicator reading is different in the viewfinder from that shown on the back display. I don't believe that it was like that in the past. I have tested it by covering the eyepiece to prevent light from entering as would be the case if my eye/face was covering from ambient light and the same occurs. It appears as though the reading on the display is double that of what is shown in the viewfinder.
I am wondering if others have experienced this and if they have found a solution? Is this likely a problem with the camera or is there a setting that I may have accidentally adjusted?
Thanks Cory
