[QUOTE="yauman, post: 258975, member: 15418"] I think you misunderstood what the U1 and U2 setting is all about. It is for customizing the settings that you use most often but it doesn't mean that it's good for all images - you still need to make sure the your exposure is correct - ie use the exposer metering in your camera (viewfinder.) All the U1 and U2 settings get you is the custom settings that you use most often as a starting point. E.g, I set U1 for my preferred settings, ie Raw, 14-bit lossless, 2nd SD card as backup, AF-C, CenterWeigh Exposure, CL speeds, ISO, Speed, etc. and I set U2 for when I am doing off-camera flash for indoors events - crop image, 2nd SD card for overflow, rear curtain, Fn custom for Flash Lock, etc. It will save me from having to go through all the custom settings but every time I take a picture, I have to still adjust for exposure, F-stop and/or Shutter and/or maybe ISO for that particular scene. It just save me from having to fidget with the Raw, flash most, custom button etc. Put it another way, for every shutter press, unless you are using the totally Auto mode ("kindergarten beginner - let the camera do everything" mode) you have to adjust for the exposure for the image - ie aperture, speed and/or ISO.
