Can't comment on the K20 as i don't have one, but my K10D is usually set between +0.3 and +1.0. I can live with that except with just about every shot, in similar lighting and contrast, i need to jump between those numbers.
Can be frustrating. The one good thing re my Nikon Dslr's is i just need to find an EV that the camera likes, and for the most part it stays there. Usually +0.3 will do it.The D200 is best at this, find the setting, get a nice histogram and leave it. Dave On Tue, Jul 14, 2009 at 8:06 PM, P. J.
