The Pentax K series, is what people would say, erratic or weird metering.

Some says, it's perfectly normal, while Nikonians would say, it's badly under exposed.

I have the K10D myself too and I always crank it up +0.3EV for evening/night shots.

Just like the review of K10D by Phil Askey, if you are not the kind that wanna fiddle with RAW, you might as well stick with C&N. smile.gif

Somehow, when I look at these K100D's shots, the behaviour is probably the same. But then again, I've only made 5 shots using green mode, but those are indoor. Perfectly balanced though.

Anyway, any underexposed can be fixed with the PP Lab software, no worries. Just make sure you snap in RAW, else there's no turning back. biggrin.gif

Keep up the good work!

I think my timing for shooting the photo is wrong. It is around 7:00pm++. Kind of dark

7pm+ still can take bright enough picture.

You need to tweak the brightness a bit when you do PP.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I found out that, with SLR lenses, zoom or not zoom, your minimum focus-able distant is unchanged.

For eg: your kit lens is 30cm for minimum focus distant. You can try that with minimal/maximum focal length and see the results.

Basically, at minimum focus distant and set your focal length to max, you are getting something which is close to macro. But of course there are better lenses to do macro, such as those that they call it "Macro lens". Haha.

Look for the flower symbol.
