Looks kind of glarey where you were shooting. Were you wearing polarised sunglasses? Polarised lenses can have the effect of darkening some LCD screens

Also, just general light intensity can make LCDs appear to be darker when outside. How's the screen when indoors?

Will,

No, I was wearing clear glasses.  The day was fairly dark and had I been using my normal mode, Manual, I would have left the ISO at 800 and set the aperture at 5.6, stepping it down if the day lightened but it didn't.  But since I was messing around with different modes because of a K-S1 discussion I expected some bad results.  The photos were a bit dark and I lightened them a bit in PP with Lightroom.  I don't see the glare you mention, but the lighting does look a bit strange.  On the other hand, the light at the river looked a bit strange in reality.

I did a test with an FA50mm lens today when the sky was bright and the 1 second display was okay.  So I'll have to spend more time with it, using my normal (manual) mode to make sure it is okay, and if it is then I may not know for sure what went wrong yesterday.

Thanks,

Lawrence
