Brightness/contrast is ok, except for the RED color, which is way out.

Is your computer monitor calibrated ?

Never ever check exposures and sharpness on the LCD simply by viewing the picture on a pathetic 2.5" screen, its never a good idea. :nono:

I do use the LCD to check both. The LCD do provide a good (not absolute) image sharpness indication at 100% zoom. For exposure, can use the histrogram.

if on the LCD is not very sharp, it will turn out a bit blur on LCD, so most of the time I delete my not very sharp photo on camera LCD view :sweat:
I do wish next time Sony offer setting to be able to like zoom to 100% or like current zoom level.

i've found the lcd on my 5D to be very accurate, i.e. if its blur at zoom, then the image is gone-case when i download it onto my PC. but as a general rule i've learnt not to delete anything in-camera (and not to review every pic i take, only the first to confirm my settings). first of all you extend your battery life, secondly you'll never know what gems you might find when previewing on your computer screen instead of the miserable lcd, even though its the best at the moment in the dslr class. once delete, gone forever, CF cards are so cheap nowadays too...

felt the same way too. could easily recognise a sharp photo on the lcd preview without needing to go to the computer. resolution wise not so fantastic but still a terrific dslr!

The shoot-no-preview not only helps u to save power, in a way, it also forces u to shoot properly as u know that u've juz got 1 chance to get it right or wrong (trying shoot-preview, shoot-preview for events and weddings and see what happens).

Do it once, do it good. :thumbsup:

agreed! a friend who's been shooting weddings for years lamented that young photographers like me are spoilt nowadays and rely too much on the digital camera's shoot-review capability. once i stopped doing that i became much more aware of the settings and now its a joy to just shoot. still make mistakes sometimes but thats credit to the learning bank.

I used to shoot without preview on my previous digital camera, to save on battery, because the camera used up the battery very fast. The battery life on the KM5D is much better now than all my previous camera that I now shoot with preview on. I will use the preview when I have the time to recheck my shot at point of shooting, if not just continue with the next shot without checking. On the KM5D is just a matter of half press the shutter only.

I think if the tools are there, used it if it helps in improving your photography skill. If time permit and a reshoot is possible, rechecking with the preview is a good way to ensure the important shot is captured. Especially wedding shot, no chance to reshoot once it's over.....;p

If time really permits, I will check the histogram as well.
