[QUOTE="nickt, post: 388861, member: 4923"] What J-See said on the metering. 1st and 3rd pictures look like what I would expect with matrix metering and camera free to do what it wants to do. They are tough scenes and would need some intervention for optimal exposure and some post processing. The 1st being a night scene and the 3rd having a very black background and a very white paper, tough for the camera to get it right. It doesn't know what is most important to you. Night and twilight scenes DO NOT automatically come out looking like a night scene, they will brighten up to look like a normal daylight scene. Unless you go manual or change meter mode or use exposure compensation. If the camera has a night scene mode, that could work too. It is possible to 'accidentally' get a night scene to look as you expected. For instance, if you were in shutter priority and even with the camera fully opening the aperture, you were still low on light, then you could get a night scene that looks like you expected. That is bad technique though. So if no specific action was taken on shot #2 to make it look like a night scene, I would guess that it was taken in shutter priority and the lens was at it's widest aperture rendering the camera unable to expose it further. You would likely get some warning flashing in the viewfinder. [/QUOTE]
