Truth be told, this was the first really nice day since I got the camera and I was taking some test shots in auto mode. I just wanted a baseline for camera performance in the sun. What I found was the same thing that Ken Rockwell mentions on his site, the Nikon tends to over expose on a sunny day. I took about 50 shots and for the most part they were all over exposed. The shot was taken at 200mm, ISO 200, F-8, 1/200s Exp. Comp. 0 in Macro-mode.
Lesson learned, I’ll be shooting in one of the manual modes with exposure compensation at some negative number on sunny days.
Thanks for the comments!
All the best,
