I have a Pentax istDL and it's what I've been using for years. Now lately it's been taking very dark photos. Either I've inadvertently screwed up my settings, or something's wrong with my camera. It takes dark photos, no matter what mode I choose. No matter which ISO I choose. =( I get photos that look like this:
Here's the info I got off photobucket for each of those photos:
Photo 1
Flash Used: No
Focal Length: 18.0mm (35mm equivalent: 27mm...
Exposure Time: 0.0029 s (1/350)
Aperture: f/4.5
ISO Equiv.: 800
Exposure Bias: 2.00
Whitebalance: Auto
Metering Mode: center weight
Exposure: Action program (based towards ...
Exposure Mode: Auto bracketing
Photo 2
Flash Used: No
Focal Length: 18.0mm (35mm equivalent: 27mm...
Exposure Time: 0.0056 s (1/180)
Aperture: f/6.7
ISO Equiv.: 400
Exposure Bias: 2.00
Whitebalance: Auto
Metering Mode: center weight
Exposure: program (auto)
Exposure Mode: Auto bracketing
It's broad daylight outside. My photos should not be that dark. I'm really worried something is going out on my camera. If it is, I can't afford to replace it, and I will be without a camera for a LONG time. =(
So I'm really hoping it's something I've screwed up on, in my settings. Help?
