Has anyone noticed a discrepancy between the viewfinder exposure bar reading and the LCD display bar on the top?
My K20D has a difference of one notch between the two exposure meters.
The top meter indicates overexposure compared to the viewfinder one but the viewfinder one appears more accurate.
For EV compensation, both meters show the same.
I did not find this with the K10D.
Ideas anybody??:

Have you ensured that you're metering with the viewfinder covered up when you check the top LCD?
