I think my RX100 M3 is defective.

I made a video showing the issue I'm having.



Maybe I'm just dumb, but I don't think its working the way it should lol.

Here's another example of the exposure issue:

1/2000th, f/8 & ISO 125. Its defective.

• MENU → (Setup) → [Setting Reset] → desired setting.
• Choose Initialize

 

[nerwin]

• MENU → (Setup) → [Setting Reset] → desired setting.
• Choose Initialize

Did that several times. Made no difference. Same exact results.

Well atleast the seller will accept the return and give me a full refund. Now the question is, do I risk getting another M3 or just get the Panasonic LX100 instead?

 

[nerwin]

The seller says its not defective, oh come on. Its defective..just admit it.

But he's accepting my return and will give me full refund.

Never check exposure looking at the picture on the screen use the histogram, have you checked screen brightness

Yes, screen brightness didn't make any difference. I have checked both the live and after histograms and they are completely different. Something is screwed up because even when shooting indoors at like f/8 and 1/1000, it's still slightly over exposed and the ISO is around 125-400.

I'd have to shoot with exposure comp at -3 EV all the time but can't see anything using the LCD or EVF because its so dark!

But I'm shipping it back to the seller and he's going to give me a full refund. So it's done and over with now.

I've done quite a bit of research on this overexposure issue and there are many others expressing this same issue right down to the same details as me. Some have exchanged theirs for a new one and the new one did not have that problem even though the settings were the same. Really...really weird.

seems like the actual exposure was locked no matter the adjustment.

does the EXIF match the settings?

Yes it does. Its almost like the camera doesn't care what you settings you choose. lol.

no look here: I think my RX100 M3 is defective.

those two images have the exact same settings: 1/320sec, f.8, iso 125.

one just happens to show -3EV, but it's not reflected in the settings!

Heh, didn't even think about that. That is really strange.

but its not defective.

I think when I get my refund back, I'll place an order for a BRAND NEW Panasonic LX-100. Its bigger, but I think it will be better for me. Not sure if I want to risk getting another RX100 M3 or even a used LX100 LOL.
