Re: auto iris too dark

Relying on auto iris is not a good idea.

There are to may situations where it will always be wrong, snow, bright beach and backlighting comes to mind for starters.

Learn how to use the histogram and zebras. And there is the percentage readout in the center of the EX cams.

Using manual exposure also keeps the shots from the dreaded iris change when moving camera or having a light or dark object pass through your scene.

There is nothing that says amateur in a shot more than auto iris.
