Exposure

Had a question about exposure. All my images were coming out consistently too dark. I'll be brief here. In setting up my D500 for wildlife, I'd gone with aperture priority, auto ISO. I had also checked the exposure setting and selected 'auto on'. I, mistakenly, thought that would take care of that! It does not. When I actually checked the camera was set way to the left and my shots were underexposed.

I bought a used camera and am beginning to understand why the previous owner sold it. I've found many settings that really, really needed changing. Had I known at the outset, I would have simply done a reset before any setup.

Getting things worked out and just thought I'd throw this out in case anyone else is experiencing like issues. Oh, I adjusted the exposure then reset to auto on and my photos reflected the correction immediately.
