Well, for those on my continent...So, last time i left you i was going to call the local camera shop (established 100 years no less) and ask them for some experienced advice. I called them this morning, but sadly they wernt willing to help unless i had bought the camera from them. Understandable, but it still left me with my problem...I then called my sister and asked her to come round with her dslr (a canon - i forget the model). She used the 50mm pancake prime; i used the 55-200mm, and we set about testing what the cameras came up with on aperture mode, both set to iso 400 (it was cloudy today) and f4 (the widest my lens could go).Lo and behold, on every single test shot i could think of (trees in the garden, clouds, houses opposite, indoors with curtains drawn, the space under the stairs, plus more), we both came up with almost identical shutter speeds.I think horrorscope fish may have been right, and i hadnt accounted for how adaptable the human eye is. My eyes had obviously adjusted to the light in the front room, and naturally i thought of that as 'bright'. The camera (both) clearly thought differently.So, im rather ashamedly going to apologise for waisting everyones time, and spend the next seven nights self-flagalating myself with a heavy text book about exposure.I will be testing my sisters camera tomorrow night (to replicate exactly the same conditions), and if theres anything untowards i will let you all know.Thanks for your input though, guys. I do really appreciate it.</blockquote>
