Hi,
Last year, in June, I upgraded from my D-90 to a D-7500 camera. The reason for the upgrade was that the D-7500 is better in filming, can take time-lapses and is faster. I wanted to stick with the Nikon brand as I already had five lenses, filters, etc.
Since day one I had trouble taking pictures on the Automatic-settings: Every pictures is too dark and under-exposed. Yes, I know, before you shout to me:"You should only take pictures in manual mode!", I want to explain that I'm not a professional photographer. I do a lot of traveling and most of the pictures are taken on the spur of the moment where I don't have time to go through all the settings. Please, accept for what I do. My D-90 performed flawless taking pictures on automatic mode with the same lenses. I also like the idea of having one zoom-lens instead of swapping lenses during inclement weather conditions.
I sent off my camera twice to a Nikon repair center here in Melbourne and twice their response was telling me there's nothing wrong with the camera. The first time I sent the camera was without the lenses. The second time with my lenses. On the second time they told me that the Tamron (18-270 f:3.5-6.3) lens was to blame. I ordered a new lens, a Tamron AF 18-400 F/3.5-6.3 DI II VC HLD with Nikon mount. When the lens arrived I tried it straight away and had... the same result! All pictures are underexposed. My mobile camera (A Samsung S7 Edge) takes better photos than the D-7500 with a new Tamron lens! So, I spent $1,000 just for nothing.
I've got the same problem with my other lenses. These lenses are:
Tamrom 1Di II 8-270mm 1:3.5-6.3 zoom lens
Nikkor AF-S 35mm 1:1.8 G prime lens
Nikkor AF-S 50mm 1:1.8 G prime lens
Sigma 10-20 1:4-5.6 DC HSM wide-angle lens
The camera repair shop said the problem had to do with the lens and the bracketing settings on my camera. I checked the bracketing settings and it's turned to the Off position.
What I want to achieve is: The correct exposure and sharper pictures. I want the photos as JPG's and do plan to do any post editing with software.
Can somebody please tell me what I should check/adjust to be able to take acceptable pictures on the automatic settings?
In two months time I will be going to Scotland and the majority of the pictures will be taken by my D-7500 with the Tamron 18-400 lens on Automatic settings.
I will be forever grateful if somebody can point me in the right direction. Many thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
