[QUOTE="eurotrash, post: 96025, member: 9237"] Here's your first problem. At f8 in low light conditions, your ISO would have to be up in the higher regions of your camera's capability. If you capped it at 6400, then it may not have enough headroom to take a properly exposed picture. I would have shot that newspaper at near the lowest aperture possible to increase the shutter speed to a desirable amount. See: Aperture Priority Mode The other thing that happened, is that the ISO of 1600 (combined with your particular lens, anyway) is quite low for this environment. Add to that, the high f number and it's no wonder it is underexposed. If your camera chose this ISO on it's own, that's the second problem. Take it out of AUTO ISO. No, your camera is simply making the wrong choices! You're not truly shooting manual until you control that third piece of the exposure triangle. ISO. [/QUOTE]
