:thinking: im not sure if i am posting this in the right spot but... my head is about to pop off.:help:

while out shooting, the results on the back of the LCD are how i would like them to turn out. open them up in CS3, and it looks as if each shot is overexposed by about 2-3 stops? :bang:

is this a calibration issue? any suggestions will help.
thanks :help:
 
Have you altered/set exposure compensation by mistake?
 
strange if the lcd images are fine and then they are overexposed on the pc. if you set your d700 to show clipped highlights on the image review ('blinkies') it should help indicate where you are over exposed.
 
Have a look at the histogram on the camera, it's possible the lcd screen isn't showing the correct image exposure (maybe darker?) because screen brightness can be ajusted. Are you shooting jpeg or raw?
 
i do infact always shoot with the "blinkies" on. as well i have gone in and messed around with LCD brightness and still the same results. I shoot in raw.
when i refer to opening in cs3, just simply uploading all the raw images. no presets.
 
Can you upload a raw file for us to check, also are you using camera raw 4.6?
 
how does one find that information out?
 
Over exposing an image by 2 or 3 stops is quite a lot of over exposure. If you are 3 stops over then you're probably getting almost completely white images.

You can adjust settings in the camera that determine the LCD saturation, contrast, sharpness and IIRC brightness so maybe you have that turned right down by mistake. Try resetting the setting to default.
 
thanks rob i will try that. as well i will try to get out and take a couple shots today and upload them here for you all to see. (if it stops raining)
 
ok so i must be a complete bonehead because i can't seem to find where i adjust the contrast, etc of the LCD. :S
 
and yes i am using 4.6
 
Have you let anyone try opening one of the affected images in their computer? it could be a lot of things, can you post one for us to check?
 
the results on the back of the camera had the oranges and greens alot more saturated, and there was no "blinkies" appearing in the photo.

anyone?
 
That image has most of the exif data stripped out. did you "save for web" in cs3 which does this.

you need a simple "save as".

Better still can you upload a nef file somewhere where we can download it.

You do shoot in raw don't you. or is it jpeg?

What are your picture control settings set to?
 
yes i infact do shoot raw.

ISO 5000
50mm
f2.8
1/320 sec
 
A copy of the full exif would be useful, however why were you using ISO 5000 for a flower.

You could try uploading a raw file to here
http://www.exifviewer.org/ and pasting full exif here if that helps.
 
i tried this link, clicked send when i found a pic i wanted to show, clicked "send file", waited for it to upload and then nothing happened. where is it getting "sent"?
 
No idea I was just trying to get the full exif from you and found that in google.
 
hi.
had the same problem - try use NX2 - you will get exacly the same what you see on back on your camera :) it is problem with color profiles in PS and LR.
 
Certain Nikon D700 cameras are known to slightly over expose, have you downloaded the new software for the camera.

they using different ICC profiles. NX2 will be as in camera. photoshop using different ICC and because of that (even you shoot B&W on screen you will see colour picture) exposure looks way different. i had these issues on my D7000 and photoshop CS5.
 
I actually don't think its anything to do with your settings or exposure.

If you shoot in RAW what you see in the LCD screen is not the actual RAW file but the JPG preview. The JPG preview will have greater saturation and contrast, the RAW file will need PP to make it look like what you see in the screen.

I second the idea of resetting you camera. Fast and simple. Most of my presets are very basic and easy to set back up. There are times when I hit something wrong and instead of weeding through all of the setting I'll just reset and go. No biggy.
