Lawrence,

I checked again your pictures, and based on what I saw in their (i) info, I believe that what the camera (or you) selected in a bright but cloudy day (what I assume it was), something like f:9, 1/800, ISO 800 should yield properly exposed pictures. And they should appear as you posted them requiring any NO additional exposure correction. And they should appear, either when immediately previewed, or later reviewed (by pressing the review button), perfect on the LCD as well.

Now, you claim that the immediate preview showed dark pictures, but the review was O.K. And what about the pictures posted? Did you brighten them?

if you are not sure whether your new camera is O.K., just aim this new K-S2 and any of your older camera (which you are sure that it works properly, like K-3 or K-S1) to the same object and make comparison of their exposure parameters. For such a test I would really recommend to use any automatic exposure mode (P, Tv, Av, etc.) and maybe JPEGs out of camera. If the K-S2 sets roughly the same exposure parameters (or slightly different parameters but leading to the same exposure), then everything is in order. Compare how they look in the review/immediate preview by the cameras and then download the pictures to your computer. Again, they should look (almost) identical.

Just typo (see above).
