whoa
way way dark
play with levels a bit and i'm a-ok again

What gives???
My PC monitor can't be that wacked out. Sites and content look fine.
Photoshop seems to be a-ok

I know I shouldn't rely on the F828's screen as the end all sign of success, but I'd think the two would match up a bit closer when I look at an image either way, or whats the point of viewing what's just been shot with the F828 ?

Me and something I'm doing??
or thats just the way it is.....

thanks again.
happens to me all the time.
the histogram is ok, but ultimately what I do is, snap 1/2 dozen test pics, run over to the laptop and view them... it's probably the amateur way to make sure the lighting is good, but it works every time.

if you don't have the availability, or if you're out in the field, just remember the LCD is always brighter than what the real output will be.
