digital slr pics show darker than in LCD
Don Solo
I am a new user of a Canon Digital Rebal digital SLR 6.3 mpx camera.
Upgraded from a Fuji 3800.
The P&S Fuji consistently took and uploaded to the PC frames that matched
the ones in the LCD display after capture. I'm using MS Digital Pro
software to manipulate my pics.
The Canon SLR takes and displays in the LCD really great pics, but when I
upload them into my PC and I look at them they are grossly over exposed.
Dark. Digital Image Pro and Photoshop will ultimately render them perfect
in color, saturation and overall exposure, but I'm really want to know why
this is. I've tried the P&S mode, Program mode, and manual mode with all of
the same results.
Am I missing something in the basic set-up of the camera?

Not necessarily. Mine was the same - hopelessly dark although the pics on
the LCD looked good. Very helpful dealer, camera kit replaced entirely after
two weeks and 850 photos.
No comparison between the first one and the second one - the second one is
exactly the way I was expecting to take photos, the same way I've been doing
it most of my life. In other words, what I sees through the viewfinder, I
gets through the computer with only minimal work. And that's what I
wanted...
Everything was at least 2 stops underexposed, regrdless of what setting you
had it on. Sure, I could fix most of them in Photoshop, but I don't have to
for what comes off my film cameras or my G3, so why should the 300D be any
different?
See the dealer you bought it from, and ask for the camera to be replaced.
