Pictures too dark

Post by MARTIN »

Hello,
when I take a photo with Dsldasboard on PC or on Android, the picture I see on the screen is too dark. Or the picture saved on the hard disk is very good.
Why ?
thanks for your help

Yes I don't change the screen backlight level.
My D610 is connected to my PC with usb cable.
I take a picture from qdskdashboard. the picture I see in qDsldashboard is very dark.
And when I open the picture jpeg saved it's correct.

So how it is possible that you have set same level if you haven't changed it ??
Setting correct backlight level is the first thing that needs to be done. Otherwise you will see to dark or to bright photos.

qDD shows JPEGs the same as other apps in default settings. But some picture viewers can brighten photos or set different screen brightness (on Android).

RAWs will always look different, because you cannot see RAW photo, you see only developed JPEG. Different software has different algorithms and default settings also some picture viewers show only JPEG thumbnail embedded in RAW (developed by camera).
