TG-2 taking dark pictures?

Re: TG-2 taking dark pictures?

What is your metering set on (ESP or spot)? Are you shooting toward bright windows with ESP? That can cause underexposure of the non-lighted parts of the image. In that situation, using the P modes with fill flash usually works, or set the metering to spot metering on the darker parts of the picture. How does the backlight HDR scene setting work for you? The HDR scene setting is very useful for tough lighting conditions.

I have a TG-1 and find that the iAuto does a very respectable job overall. I don't care for it when it selects the candlelight scene setting, but overall it makes good decisions. The above is how I deal with it when it isn't doing what I want.
