hi stefan which picture looks better exposed to you.
also these were from flicker. and im also with photobucket and both remove the exif data.

thanks for all the help guys im really greatfull.
matt i have done a reset and things seems alot better now i see what you mean about tav mode, i have tried it in p and tv and av with different apatures and it is alot better, (i would still say its still bumps the iso up for no reason and some shots are a little over the top.)

just tried the same shot in av mode with the built in flash and the samsung in pttl mode(green), lens set at 200mm flash shutter speed 180/sec (auto iso) camera selected iso 400 for both flashes.(slow iso adjustment set).
which looks better,(no adjustments straight out camera jpeg)

any suggestions for a site i can store photos that keep the exif data would be great if any one knows any.

ken the camera is only a week old, i refuse to have something repaired of this age.

thanks matt i will try a reset and go from there. Is there any setting you can advice me to use. Stefan the flash is set to middle. Will let you know how it goes later when i finish work and get the chance to do it. Hopefully its sometimi i am doing as i dont really wanna have to send it back to srs as i have just put a 20£ screen protector on it also the cost of sending it back.

hi matt original focus screen also matrix metering and using the kit wr lenses also flash power output is set to normal middle. I will try do some more test but i still think it bumps the iso up with out needing it especially in tav and manual mode. Using auto iso

hi matt yes on the later version 1.3 first thing i done. Anne

ken i guess flicker has removed the exif data will try find somewhere that doesnt. arche and matt i know its not a point and shot and nor is my d300 and my partner can pick that up and use that with built in flash with no problems with shutter speeds of 360.sec f8 with the iso adjusting its self and it doesnt just select a high iso its selecup the right iso to give the right exposure. I never had the problem with the k20 or k200.0also matt i selected slow iso adjustment. Sorry using my phone at the moment its abit hard.

all at the same distance about 5ft away and 200mm.
tav mode i selected f8 and 180/sec shutter speed and the camera selected iso 1600(auto 100-1600)slow iso adjustment set.



tav mode i selected f32 and 180/sec shutter speed and the camera selected iso 1600(auto 100-1600)slow iso adjustment set.



full manual i selected f8 180/sec iso 100.



must say the iso 1600 looks very clean.

this is my point in most cases when it has done this i have checked it manualy and it could use iso 100 with no problems.
my daughters cheap £50 camera does this bumps the iso up.
i dont expect it of a dslr of nearlly £1000,

i have no problems using it in full manual, but my point is my partner uses it and he doesnt understand and doesnt want to learn how to set it up manualy and i cant blame him ,
the camera should be cleaver enough to set the iso right and in this situation in tav mode set to 160/sec f 8 iso 100 to iso 1600 is a big difference.

it works fine i i set it manualy,, try taking a pic of someone close up,
also try tav mode select a shutter speed of 160.sec and f8 auto iso.
