[QUOTE="LouCioccio, post: 561218, member: 12542"] Zeplplin390, Do this for preview mode so you can look at the Histogram; to read at the left are the shadows in the middle are mid tones and the right are highlights. Any peaks could be sky, white or anything is bright. You want a good exposure nothing going off the left under exposed and nothing going past the right over exposed. You want to see data is in between the left and right. If its looking dark in Live then you need to increase ONE of these only: Aperture or Shutter or ISO as you increase either of these your screen in live view will get brighter. Use the preview with Histogram and that will give you a handle on which way to go. You may already know that most zoom lenses have two apertures printed one is the max in the smallest zoom (55mm) and the second one is the max in largest zoom (200mm as an example).
