[QUOTE="richardhurst, post: 339865, member: 29381"] Hi everyone this is my first Nikon camera coming from a Canon background and I went out this morning and struggled with live view. Let me explain. I've heard lots of people say the live view is not the same as the live view on the canon as it always show depth of field but never really understood by what they meant by that. Well I think I found out this morning. I struggled really badly not blowing out the sky when I was getting the foreground to the correct exposure. I seemed to be having to shoot with almost 5 stops of grad and still was 2 stops underexposed according to the meter so the sky was coming out ok, if I tried setting the exposure at centre the foreground was virtually dark and the sky completely blown with the grads. is it done to which spot metering mode your in or am I missing something really simple that's different to the canon. Hope that makes sense. [/QUOTE]
