Miss Tilly wanted attention and would not let me read my email, so I figured I ought to get something out of the deal. <http://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/6297055951/in/photostream> Panasonic G1 and 20/1.7. Technical question: This shot was exposed adequately. But most of the pictures I took of our little ball game were underexposed, some by more than 2 stops. The scene contrast wasn't that great. I've seen this before. The 20/1.7 has a tendency to underexpose in low tungsten light, and I've read numerous reports of it happening with several Panny and Olympus micro 4/3 models. Does anybody know how to set the camera so this doesn't happen (short of full manual)? I think I once read that evaluative metering didn't work in low light with the 20/1.7, but I was using center-weighted here. --Peter
