My picture is to dark. Is there anything that I can do to lighten the picture.

it might be on the power save mode to save energy. I had that problem on my sons 32" LG we have. The energy star uses less power but is not as bright...not worth the sacrifice.

The modeling light is not that bright, but you could make adjustments in your settings or use other lights also

Go to the DRO settings (Dynamic Range Optimizer) and turn it off completely. Make sure it's not in "Auto". The DRO is very useful in extreme lighting situations and to lift exposure in the dark areas of a photo. It's almost like the HDR mode but only with one shot.

I corrected the problem on my camera. To do this, I went to MENU, selected SETUP (third menu on left), then went to page 2. Under LCD MODE, press the right MENU Toggle button. It is probably set to OFF. Set it on the next item down which is a sqare with an A and a star in it. That sets the LCD to the Auto light mode. That took care of my problem. Now when I take a flash it doesn't get dark. In looking at the photos on my computer, the photos looked ok. They weren't dark. It is just a LCD problem. That took care of it for me. Try that one time.

`I have experienced this as well, especially with inside photos, no flash comes out too dark, flash is too light. There is an adjustment to the amount of brightness on the flash, just haven't "played" with the camera enough to be proficient at it.

Try setting the camera to Shutter Priority and setting the shutter speed to 1/30 or faster. If the images are too dark set the ISO to a faster setting.

There is a natural indigo dye you can use to make it darker. I found a lot of help on Youtube.

If you do not care about the resolution or quality of the pictures then you may be alright with it. Just make sure the room of viewing is very dark as well. This item is very inexpensive but like the saying goes" You get what you pay for! "

I was able to play with the Advanced Settings in service menu, back light menu. The default is to bright, just play with it and it should correct some of the color issues,

Try turning the brightness down and the contrast up and also adjust the color so it looks as real as possible. Also you can change the energy saver setting to make to lighter or darker. Offhand my settings on dynamic mode are:Contrast: 95Brightness: 32Color: 64Sharpness: 90Energy Saver: Level 1

Hey Mark, Try setting the camera to the "P" on the dial (stands for Program AE). Once you do, click the Q. MENU button on the bottom right of camera. Select the ISO setting and change it to 200 or 400. I'm having the same issues as you with this camera and its poor low light performance. To get better shots indoors, it helps to crank up the ISO to a higher setting. The downside is that the picture may come in a bit grainy. The higher the ISO, the more grain, but at least you'll have a brighter and clearer picture. At ISO 200 and 400, you shouldn't have too much grain for it to ruin the picture. Let me know if it works!

When I go to the Brightness menu I can drag the "ball" on the line from side to side to adjust the brightness. I hope that helps.

I have been trying to do that same thing. Some scenes get messed up by the auto-exposure. A couple steps down in the settings you can change how bright or dark the picture is but that pesky auto-exposure is still active. Let's hope if they ever put up another firmware update that they include that functionality like when they added the timer function.

Hi Marc,Sorry, I have not even been able to use mine since it arrived broken, andfotodiox was unable to help me.But, have you tried extra lighting fromdifferent angles? This usually helps.

Try a small piece of scotch tape, layer if needed. The tape will diffuse some of the light.
