I'm sure I've had something similar happen with my K-5 using liveview with my DFA 100mm f2.8 macro (not sure about the green light coming on though.)

John

If they were jpeg's then possibly (depends if you want to retain detail in the shadows and highlights or not.) If they were RAW, then no.

Edit: Just noticed you bracketed - you can experiment with HDR then!

John

Try taking a general shot outdoors in the sunshine and see if that helps for starters to make a comparison.

What happens setting the camera to Av with the lens wide open, is that OK?

Why it should have a blue cast, no idea unless something was causing a colour shift, like light bouncing off a blue wall?

You did say the blue tint disappeared when the exposure was correct.
I expect it is something you'll have to get to know its strange behaviour and make allowances for unless it was a one-off.

I've found that with pre K-5 cameras, the metering with M lenses using the green button was unreliable apart from at full aperture, but just try with a K-5, wow! At last they've got it right.

John

Metering with M lenses seems to work better with the K-5 than it did with older bodies. They've only just got it right!

You haven't said which camera body you are using or how you set about setting the exposure, or what it is you were taking so really there are too many variables. It seems though you got it sussed by using the exposure compensation setting so what other ideas are you after?

John

Presuming you mean on the K-5?

It doesn't really matter which wheel you twiddle, they'll both alter the settings the same based on the Program Line. Remember its still just a souped up Auto setting. There's various Program Lines (see earlier post) so Hi-speed would be based on Tv and Depth of Field based on Av. They just give a different default starting point depending on which 'Line' has been selected.

So set 'Hi-speed' and it will give you a fast shutter speed with a wider aperture by default. Select 'Deep Depth of Field priority' and you'll end up with a small aperture and longer exposure by default.

Write to the branch and copy to the head office a letter based on the Sample Letter shown there and request a refund. Maybe also involve the Credit Card company if you used it to purchase the camera.

Well your contract is with Curry's so that's correct.

Not seem those before. Excellent.

Not a bird we see in the UK, but would seem to be what you say.

There's a good page of photographs of your local(ish) birds here: link which I found when looking to see what your photo might be.

Nice capture by the way - well done.

John

Will hold back with mine then !

No, they state 'Microscope Adapter' on the box.

Yes indeed, but you'd need a microscope with as compatible barrel. I actually do have a Gamages microscope somewhere from my youth so perhaps I ought to try and find it and see what happens! In any event, I'm sure someone might find them invaluable as I doubt they are currently available new. Mine could be considered new old stock as it came from Jessop's stock clearout.
