The K-3 III metering seems to fall down “when things go pear shaped at night”. I had issues when I was photographing them clearing the fallen trees and powerlines a few weeks back, and last night someone set fire to a car in the parking lot at the new office in Riverside. I grabbed the 3-III and it was exposing for the darkest areas of the image, multi second exposures, so I just exchanged for my K-1, which I can make work.
I might need to use P mode for night time shots instead. It also probably didn’t help that it had the 18-270 rather than the 16-50 so it was much slower. I know that the 3III can get great shots in adverse conditions, I just haven’t had a chance to learn it well enough to do so. It does seem to behave very differently from all of my other cameras. I’ll try to post images from last night’s excitement soon, I just haven’t had a chance to do much processing. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from ret13est -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
