Originally posted by axl Pentax cameras are well know for underexposing shots to preserve highlight detail. In bright daylight it usually needs anywhere between +0.3 and +1 EV compensation
I've heard this many times, but very rarely ever thought my K10D or GX20 underexpose shots in daylight. I can only think of 2 or 3 examples after 1000's of shots. I'm not complaining as I'm happy with the way they do capture images, I'm just not sure how accurate that statement is?
Huntly2 - as others have already said, if you post some pictures then that would definitely help others help you. There are so many things that can affect exposure from your camera settings through to the subject that will affect your image. You can host your images for free here -
