I understand how a camera works.
My question is more specific to the AUTO mode on the T1i. If you look online there are many complaints that the XTi consistently underexposed. There are many people who questioned if this was a software defect or something done by Canon to minimize blown highlights.
I have a canon p&s and side by side the p&s will achieve more of a proper exposure when both cameras are in full auto.
I can change my ISO or use exposure compensation so I'm not terribly effected by the "problem" but my DH won't bother (nor does he care to learn about) with the settings.
He took pictures yesterday with the XTi and every single one needed to be fixed in photoshop to be usable.
I believe that an AUTO mode should provide good usable photos straight out of the camera. Yes, I understand that he could have raised the ISO, or used a fill flash or or bumped the EC a bit to achieve a proper exposure but he doesn't even understand what those things mean so he isn't going to do them.
I just wondered if any T1i users have noticed the issue in auto mode. It was very noticeable on the XTi and commented on by many reviewers.
