[QUOTE="klasvaakie, post: 212109, member: 17494"] So yesterday I finally managed to save up to upgrade my D3100 to a D7100. I was so excited I instantly went to a game reserve close by. (I live in South Africa). After about an hour just trying to sort out the AF controls, I finally got to shooting with factory default setting. I usually shoot in manual, but I found this impossible yesterday. For some reason every photo came in too dark.
