I keep my X-T1 on auto ISO. Yesterday I was trying to capture a heron at the beaver dam in our neighborhood wetlands. I use the viewfinder which doesn't show me the histogram (is there a setting for this that I'm missing?) but the exposure meter showed that it was exposed correctly.
The bird flew off and when I checked the display, the photos I took were so dark I couldn't see the scene at all (think shooting with your lens cap on).
The photos had been taken at ISO 800. So I have two questions, why did the exposure meter say everything was groovy when it wasn't, and why didn't it go above 800 in order to capture a correct exposure?
I shoot in raw and was able to save the photo in Lightroom.
