[QUOTE="MikeM, post: 56549, member: 9607"] Newb here. Don't quite know how to describe this issue, but I have a D5100 and shoot a lot at night, long exposure. Power up, M mode, compose, set exposure, shoot. Once done saving to card, Liveview comes back on, but it is VERY dark. In most circumstances, can't see the scene to adjust composition. Can playback shot just fine, but LCD is pretty much unuseable. I know I can go back to the optical viewfinder, but at that point, I'd rather use the LCD. The only solutions I've found are... power camera down, switch to full AUTO mode, power back up, OR, switch back to full AUTO mode, snap a frame. If I do either of those, I can once again see the properly lit LCD viewfinder. Sort of a pain to be powering down and spinning the dial, or shooting two photos for every one I want. Anyone else run into this issue? It's entirely possible I have a menu setting off or I'm doing something wrong, but darned if I can find it. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
