It might also be worth trying the green button while in manual mode to get the exposure settings the camera thinks it needs to properly expose and compare it to the values you were using. If they're the same or similar then there's defintely something up with the camera

Will,

I normally do that when starting out in the manual mode.  Usually I start with the aperture wider than the green button recommends.  But I was experimenting with different modes as a result of a discussion in regard to the K-S1.  I probably should have held off starting a thread until I had been out with it a few more times.  But seeing the darkness and then finding that all the photos cleaned up nicely in Lightroom, I became convinced there was something wrong.  Only another test at home on a bright day with a different lens caused me to have doubts.  That time with an FA50 1.5 the 1 sec display appeared normal.
