Without wanting to sound rude, yes, that is what I suspect.

You obviously haven't dealt with the OP very much. Let's just say he's more of a gear collector (perpetual G.A.S.) than he is a photographer.

You bought a camera that shoots RAW. Use it, convert to 16-bit tiff with Fuji's converter and process that in whatever suits you, even free FastStone. Take a course and learn about focus and lighting. The attached is a few second process in FastStone.
Lowered highlights boosted low light.

Not sure how you had these issues, I didn't when I tried briefly in a shop. https://flic.kr/s/aHskWkUMPp

Thank you. I don't always use a 56, but it is my favorite for sure. Here is one with the 35 f2.
I like to shoot in natural light only, so I don't use a flash, but the X-A3 has a small one if I ever want a little fill.
Fast forward to 2018. I just got an X-A3 and experienced overexposure issues indoors and also in low light. Camera thinks there is insufficient light and chooses slow shutter and high iso: resulting in noisy motion blurred pictures. This is worse than the GF1 i got in 2008. I have to adjust to -2 ev to get it right sometimes. Way off if u ask me.
i tested it with a Fuji 27mm 2.8 prime the pancake
Auto setting, jpegs OOC
I found the camera chose ISOs that were 1600 and 3200 often, even close to windows in the afternoon sun
I was dissapointed that half the pictures were not in focus with the touch shutter on Auto
Some pictures had too high an ISO like 3200 and too low an s speed like 1/12s
Outdoors pictures were great with great colors
Indoors the high ISOs were accompanied with faces that were too bright
I was expecting an ISO/speed behavior that was reasonable that one could trust
The camera kept making noises focusing for seconds after a picture. Eventually they died down even with camera movement, until the next picture
Feels cheaper than the A1 and the A2
the dog picture is with fill flash
