[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 35878, member: 1746"] Lately I've been doing a lot of shooting in manual (finally). I'll look at the meter reading in the view finder and the camera "thinks" I have the right settings, but when I preview the shot the sky and everything in general looks over exposed and highlights are flashing. So with a little experimenting I have learned if I take my shot two "bars" to the under exposed side it looks great and I get no highlight warnings. Been doing this now for about a week or two and it works in high and low light conditions. With my 18-105 lens I'm trying to keep my shutter speed between 200 and 500 and adjust my aperture from there as needed. My ISO is set to 200 unless I need more for speed or more aperture. I'm also shooting JPG and RAW. I under stand the ISO triangle. But I don't think my D90 does LOL Any thoughts on this? Yes my EV value is set to zero and bracketing is off and I'm not using the Active D lighting filter. Is this the nature of the beast or do I have something set wrong somewhere that I'm forgetting about. To dark today to show some samples but as soon as I can, I'll post two shots off the tripod of the same shot with both settings and EXIF data. [/QUOTE]
