Was doing a couple of sessions today with my D60. Took an exposure reading with my hand held meter. Open shade, no change in the light intensity or quality. I'm using a speed grip with freshly charged batteries. I'm shooting in the manual mode. Used the same lens for the entire series of shots. Left the exposure at 1/125, f 5.6. Same ISO - 200.

Now the problem. With no change of exposure on my part, I have several frames that are about 1-2 stops overexposed in the sequence. Has anyone had this happen to them? Or does anyone know what could be causing this?

I'd appreciate some feedback.

TIA,

paul
 
I know this is a silly question. But did you have your meter set to the same iso? I have that before and not realized it.

Also, did you flash the bios to the latest one. It really made a diff in exposue and focus time.

If I take the lens cap off, I get a lot better pictures.
Canon baby.....1D,D60,IL series,Pictro3500,4000II
 
Let's say I shot 10 exposures in the same spot of the model just changing her pose (all closeup). 7-8 will be OK, the other 2-3 will be a stop over. Same ISO (both on meter and camera) same location, same lighting conditions.

I'll check on the firmware.

I have been to Canon, Jamesburg 3 times for 3 hours each time and still my camera does the same as yours, and my photos have a very nice green tint they cannot get rid of, and they won't have a replacement for 3 more months. How is that for Canon? I have been with them for 12 years as a CPS member and am now thinking of going back to Nikon, loss of money from my lenses and all.
 
I wonder if those exposure data are confirmed with your EXIF info ?

Does underexposed and normal exposed pictures taken within seconds hve the sam EXIF exposure info ?
