Re: TG-6 cosistenly overexposus
@smithaa02
Thanks for your thoughtful comments.
As I think I said earlier, the AW130 was a rush purchase, literally. We were cruising the Bahamas, and while in the Berries (small chain of cays halfway between the north end of Andros and south end of Abaco - recommend the visit, but not by cruise ship - Little Stirrup is now Orlando East - Grrr...), Chris dropped her Canon off the dinghy ("I don't need a strap, they just get tangled up" - famous last words). It drowned, we went back to the US for other reasons, sprinted through Best Buy, and jumped on the plane to, where we left our boat, the Exumas. That's why she has an AW130.
Optics mess aside, the AW130's not a bad camera for someone who wants usable pictures to show to family and friends. The internal charging failed - no biggie, I believe in spare batteries, anyway. Otherwise, it's done what it was hired to do.
Ultimately the optics died, and here we are, TG-6 in hand (well, was in hand).
I'm waiting for the RMA number, and the TG-6 is re-boxed. Somebody will get an "open box special" with the added feature of a glass cover over the scratch-prone (as per reviews) screen - the cover went on shortly after the camera arrived.
(Anybody want two remaining covers - #1's on the camera, the JJS lens cap, and two batteries with two-bay charger - from BM? PM me if interested)
What does a 0.0 EV exposure look like? See a sample, and a (I think) somewhat under-exposed exposure of the same hydrangea. The colors are close to right, but somewhat over-saturated. YMMV
Keep in mind, all of this very much experimentation with how the camera does or doesn't meet Chris' needs.
