I have had some issues regarding any closeups macro photography.
using the Pentax K30 and a sigma 70-300 APO-DG I am getting a lot of blown out whites.
I have tried reducing the compensation and when the whites are ok the dark areas are to dark, and i mean way to dark.
I have also tried spot, center weighted and multi segment metering, with highlight and shadow correction on and off.
tried modes P, Av and Tv.
distant shots seem to come out just fine, but macro and closeups have this issue.
Red flowers over saturate obliterating any texture most times.
Lavenders turn white
In rare cases the picture comes out fine, but usually nothing like it appears in the viewfinder or live view screen as far as exposure is concerned.
Is this a lens issue ? or a setting in the camera I am not aware of.
I will post examples when i figure out how
Thank you
De Wolf
