[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 140895, member: 6277"] [b]Re: Exposure Indicator reading in "Viewfinder" and "Display" are not the same[/b] I think what you are seeing is the scales are different in the two displays. Forget about the bars for a minute. The lines break up the 0 to 1 scale. That is broken into 4 parts. 1/4 each. Follow me so far? The viewfinder only takes 2 bars to equal 1/4 but the back display is much larger and it takes 4 bars there to make up 1/4 So forget about the bars and just look to see if it is 1/4, 1/2 3/4 or 1 Shoot a picture at 1/4 through the viewfinder(2 bars) and the same shot at 1/4 in the rear display (4 bars) I bet they will be the same exposure. YOu may have slight variation since you are moving the camera a little. Just looked again. The viewfinder is broken into 3 sections and the rear display is broken into 4 sections. They are different scales altogether. [/QUOTE]
