[QUOTE="Dangerspouse, post: 707446, member: 46690"] Hi tamirisadp - welcome! If I'm not mistaken, the D3000 and D5xxx series cameras do not adjust the Live View (the camera screen) picture if the shot was taken with a flash. It shows the exposure without the flash factored in, which would mean a darker picture is diplayed than was actually taken. The true exposure [I]will[/I] be shown on your computer, however. If you are noticing this only when you use a flash, that's probably it. Unfortunately I don't believe there is a camera adjustment you can make to remedy this. The workaround is to check the histogram, which will give you an accurate representation of your exposure. One other thing you might try is to turn the movie mode off when you shoot still pictures (Shooting Menu > Movie Settings > Manual Movie Settings = OFF). That could also be a factor. Hope this helps! :) [/QUOTE]
