[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 736097, member: 9240"] [b]Severely Underexposed Images (used to be about a remote)[/b] I did a bit of digging and I can't seem to find anything so I'm asking. I have my D500 on a tripod with a remote trigger to shoot nesting Flickers. The light at the hole varies wildly between sun and clouds. I have the camera set to spot meter at the edge of the hole, and the EV is set to +0.7. As I'm going through photos from yesterday I'm seeing shots coming in at ISO 400 or less (I have it set to Auto ISO with a 4000 max) that are nearly 3EV on the dark side. It's as if it's not metering at all. But later on we're back to higher ISOs (but not max) and it's still dark but only but about a stop and a half. I would think it would meter when it gets triggered. I have it set for back button focusing, which I'm guessing also engages the meter. I'm going to test it again today by turning that off but does anyone know if that'll solve my problem? I've been shooting these for a while but this is the first time this has happened. [/QUOTE]
