Related issue with apparently a twist. A while ago received a replacement MP for one that lost a fight with a tree. Yesterday, activated it for the first time. (I had another MP that I had ordered after the tree fight, as it took a few months to get the first down from the tree.) Upgraded firmware, calibrated everything. When exposure is set to auto, I get screen image. But, when exposure is set to manual I get a black or barely visible screen image.
I note that when set to auto the ISO is 1600 and shutter speed at 30. When set to manual, I use 100 for ISO and shutter speed at 30. I cannot get any screen image to appear unless I manually set ISO to 1600. When in manual I cannot adjust the EV, which is locked at -2.0. If I set to auto, the ISO is locked, but the EV is adjustable, and thus I can confirm that this makes a difference. Se attached screen shots.
Is there something I'm missing, or do I need to send this MP in for repair? And, if I do, will it still be covered under warranty and/or Care Fresh, since this second MP is a replacement under Care Refresh signed up for the first (treed) MP, which first MP was determined to not be reparable?
Screen image when exposure set to auto
Screen image when set to manual and replicate the ISO and shutter speed settings established by auto
Screen image when set to manual and ISO and shutter speed set to desired settings. Again, I am not able to change the EV from -2.0 under manual to match the 0.0 established by auto. (I subscribe to the practice that 100 ISO should always be used, and filters used to adjust.) |
