Thanks for your help.

I must be stupid or something as i can't see a way of uploading a pic. If i click on the image button, I just get the word in this box.




I am using pentax lenses - an 18-55 and a 55-300. The main problem is when I zoom in to take close-ups, but it does seem dark at other times.

I suppose I can use software to lighten the pics, but I'd rather they were good in the first place.

I will try the AEL now..thanks

Hi all,

I had a good SLR years agao, but haven't used one for about 15 years and so am starting again with a K200D.

I am keen to get using the camera properly, but find that even on the automatic setting, the images come out very dark.

If anyone can give me simpleton advice on how to rectify this, I'd be very grateful

Thanks
