p.1 #1 · D2X Bizarre Exposure & WB


Since I got this camera, it is almost certain that everytime I bring images to PS or NC. I will need to adjust the exposure and WB.
It looks great on both the LCD & histogram back of camera but it appears less 1 or 1.5 stop and color looks yelllowish on PS and NC.
This is just drive me nut. I used both light meter and custom white balance.
By the way, my monitor is calibrated. It is a Sony Artisan.

Any idea why this is happening......

My ultimate goal is not doing these adjustment. It does not take me long to adjust one image and apply same adjustment to the rest. It just bother me not knowing why.

Just curious, do you do post processing every time on all of your images?

put the camera in Aperture and in centerweighted metering and tell me what you are getting? perhaps your handheld meter is out of adjustment or your camera meter itself is out of adjustment

My D2x underexposes by 0.3 stop consistently and WB indoors is a bit wonky. Wonder if the new firmware upgrade will help with WB?

Hi Jim
Unfortunately my daughter is at sleep now.
I was suspicious about problem so I sent both of my camera and Sekonic meter to Nikon & MAC to readjust to manufacturer's specs. I just got them back last week.
I remember I set my camera Aperture priority at f2.8, Auto & Flash WB when took the shot of my daughter.
I hope this help.
Thanks

I use my D2X mostly shooting product.
Another incident happened to this camera was exactly how Nikon just described in their Firmware update. When shoot 1/250 with flash, occasionally the image looks dark half of the top.
Hopefully the new update will take care of this problem too.

I gave up on the Matix metering system long ago and now pretty much rely on the histogram for exposure.
Sad but true.
Just downloading todays work with the new firmware so it will be interesting to see if there is a marked difference in the focus area.
I could swear mine blead over the points.
Cheers,
Jasin.

The D2X LCD screen was incredibly hot when I got my camera... It might be set as a default for bright sunlight viewing, but I turned it down as low as it can go and it is still is brighter than the resultant image... Colors usually are close, though, unless you get into the purples, which always seem blue on the LCD too.

Try lowering the LCD brightness to minimum and see if it helps judge more accurately.

WOW, the new firmware makes it look like a new camera.
Crisper focus and crisper colours.
I am quite amazed!
Cheers,
Jasin.

IMHO, the matrix metering system (before upgrade) isn dead nits on target on the X.

I use exposure compensation on each shot to adjust for the luminosity of the scene I'm shooting and the results are so spot on that little if any color processing is required.

The individual color channels are so close to wheere they should be that it's uncanny.

It's almost always necessary, no matter what DSLR you use. Get used to it. That's digital photography.
