Re: Lumix G7 Too bright

Check that metering is set to "multi metering" or "center weighed" instead of "spot". I have assigned the fn3 (down button) for changing the metering mode. It may be that the setting does nothing when using full automatic mode, though.

I strongly recommend spending an hour or two of learning what aperture, shutter speed and sensitivity (ISO) means and how they are related, as well as different focusing and metering modes. This will help understanding what are the possible reasons for the camera to fail.

Learning how the camera works is not obligatory, but it is a relatively easy way to take your photography to a next level. It's also a lot of fun testing different exposure parameter combinations when trying to perfect an image.

G7 is a great camera, after using G80, I am amazed how light it is.
