I've seen some examples from both systems and (to me) there was very little to choose between them.</P><P></P><P>If you're getting consistently dark images with this setting it could possibly be to do with lighting; also bear in mind that a very dark subject will not give as dramatic an effect as a bright, evenly-lit one.</P><P></P><P>Hope this helps.</P><P>Mick</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 05 Sep 2011 09:40:32 GMT https://community.sony.sk/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/how-to-take-photo-s-to-look-like-toy-models-like-the-olympus-epl1/m-p/244248#M2228 Mick2011 2011-09-05T09:40:32Z
