Spring green make them attractive.

The photo was taken on the boat with K01 + A50 F1.4.
It seems easier to use K01 than K5!

TAv blows up photos (too bright)

For your reference ...
  1. If the automatic ISO is too narrow in TAv mode, the occurrence of over/under-exposure may be more if the twinkle ISO can not easily get your attention.

  2. In Av and Tv mode, the aperture and shutter speed are mutually compensated and so the over/under-exposure may happen few even if the automatic ISO is too narrow.

  3. If you push the AE-L before framing, the locked exposure value may not be fit to your final framing.

  4. As what Na Horuk said, the metering mode need to be addressed. You are suggested to use center-weighted mode and then use exposure compensation to get a right exposure.

  5. if you have switched on the highlight correction, the minimum ISO is 200 if you haven't switched on the expanded sensitivity.

TAv Mode means you need to set the shutter speed and aperture first and then the ISO is automatically adapted and changed according to the exposure value needed for the scene you are going to take the photo. However the automatic ISO has got a limitation. When the ISO needed exceeds the limitation, it will twinkle until you set the shutter speed and/or aperture again to make the required ISO within the limitation of automatic ISO.

Hope this can help you!
