[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 205620, member: 12496"] My guess about what might do that is to ask what metering mode? Spot Metering is NOT a beginners point&shoot option. Try Center or Matrix. And maybe tell us lots more detail about the situation. We only know what you tell us. :) The rest below seems opposite of the reported problem, but ... I don't have a D3200, so am just guessing, but see the D3200 manual, bottom of page 85, where it says "exposure may differ". Also next page where it says to cover the eye piece. In movie mode, live view kicks in more features like Auto ISO which may not otherwise be on, but I am not aware that photo mode does. But the focusing and metering modes are different when the viewfinder is not available. [/QUOTE]
