This happens when I'm taking darker images, such as rim-light-only shots. Is the 30D somehow... 'correcting' for the dark image so i can see the subject matter better? Any way to change this, or does anyone know what's going on here? -Tony

I normaly go by the histogram for a quick check on exposure but, if you "calibrate" your LCD brightness to your monitor's, you'll have a closer match. Tom

I always look for the "blinkies" and use them to keep from blowing my highlights. Kajun Rule #1-Never try to teach a pig to sing.....It wastes your time and it annoys the pig.

Time to start paying attention to the histogram view I suppose!
