Jon,
You seem to have an extensive bit of knowledge concerning the A620 so I thought I would ask about a problem I am having.
It seems that when I take most pictures on the A620 it will look beautiful on the display, but after transfering it to my computer, the image is significantly darker.
I don't believe it is the monitor settings because it actually prints out darker as well. If I go in and play with the shot in PS I can bring it back to something usable.
Do you know why I might be seeing this shift?
Typically I am using the AUTO settings.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
Scott
Got this as a PM - remember, folks, if you have a question someone else might be wondering the same thing.
Your camera's LCD is not intended for critical viewing of your photos - it's set up so you can see the picture even in generally bright conditions.
If you want to judge your exposure, turn on the detailed information view (from where you've got the picture in the display, press "Display" twice; the first time you'll see minimal shooting information; the second you'll see a histogram displaying the light-dark distribution of tones in your photo). Use the histogram to judge your exposure, not the picture. A good histogram for a typical scene should cover the whole range of the graph, from dead black on the left to bright white on the right. If you're missing one or the other of those, it won't reach all the way, but in general you want it to be centered on the graph.
