As it's somewhat tilted, I would assume with another camera.

I took it from a mobile phone and cropped it, there is no way to take a screenshot while camera is on

The only way know I know of is to use a second camera or use aweb cam to take the photo.

You can also connect a recording device to the camera's video output and grab from there.

Hello,

I was trying indoor shoot using my Pentax-A 50mm F2. I set my shutter speed and aperture and also my ISO to 100. Now here is the problem, room is not well lit so I kept the aperture wide open and sat shutter speed to 1/40 to reduce any accidental blur. What I see in the Ev section (one encircled in red), Since I dont have any control over that the value is set to -3 automatically, making the image heavily underexposed. Shouldnt the camera set Ev to some positive value to make the image well exposed?

Am I missing anything here?
