[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 506751, member: 6277"] I have had two friends that had problems with their cameras recently. My niece was having problems with her D5000 and was going to throw it away so I told her to ship it to me first and let me look at it. She had the Exposure compensation set on -5. So of course she was not getting any photos worth looking at. I set the camera back on 0 and went through and cleaned everything and set all the controls so that it was just a point and shoot for her. Added a lens with a longer zoom that I had laying around and shipped it back to her. She was happy. The next was a friend I was out shooting with one evening and he was having all sorts of problems getting a good exposure. He was shooting manual and we were shooting together for the first time and I noticed that he was taking 10 shots to my one and was still not getting good exposures. I asked him if I could see his camera for a minute and sure enough the Exposure compensation was set incorrectly. I set it turned it to P and took one photo of the scene he had been trying to shoot. And handed the camera back to him. It was a perfect exposure. He and I have become very close friends since then and shoot often together. I still give him a hard time about that. Sometimes the problems people have is that they are not paying attention to the details. Always check ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed, and EXPOSURE COMPENSATION. My big problem occasionally is that I forget that I am in Bracket and I start getting exposures that are under exposed, correct and the over exposed. [/QUOTE]
