I feel like leaving the camera at home when it's cloudy at the moment. Is it just me or do others have the same problem?
As most of us will not be familiar with this camera is it possible to post a couple of examples of the same picture taken at different settings. It would help greatly to know shutter speed and aperture for these.
Am I right in thinking bright sun good pics, cloudy overcast poor pics ?
