[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 657716, member: 3903"] In aperture mode, what you see is the aperture and the shutter speed determined by the camera meter AND the iso you choose. The meter will always compensate the shutter speed to get proper exposure. If you get underexposure, it's usually because your scene consists of larger bright areas, if you get overexposure, it's because your scene contains more dark than light areas. This is why there is "exposure compensation" in the menu (I don't know for the 3400) but on 7xxx and above models, there is a button to depress while you turn the main wheel to tell your meter to change the neutral exposure when the scenes are dark or bright. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
