Hi All,
I'm having problems shooting tethered - after a long session at my dealer in a gloomy basement today, we eventually (and with no thanks whatsoever to P1's ragtag of instruction manuals for kit, back, body, C1) got live preview to work.
When I got it home and tried to use it with a daylight subject, I found that I have to stop down to F22 and with fastest virtual shutter speed and no virtual ISO gain, with the back set at ISO 50, before the virtual exposure meter drops out of the red. That's with subject matter being interior and lit by daylight from a window. At that point the subject matter is too dark to see on my monitor properly.
If I point the camera out of the window then everything goes blank or if I am really lucky, most of the screen is filled with coloured striations or bands and maybe a little glimpse of the actual subject somewhere in frame.
In an interior room lit by soft light through a white blind, I can just about get the subject visible but most of the frame is usually still taken up by coloured stripes and I am b******d if I can use the focus window to focus because the image it shows is so jerky (even on a tripod) and so full of noise that focus is impossible to guess.
I assume that I am doing something wrong (though I am doing AFAIK what the dealer did) and would be deeply grateful if anyone has any ideas!
