Exposure

The G1 seems to chronically underexpose. The top shot, spot metered off the white flower, should be gray, but not quite so dark. To get the appropriate exposure (bottom), I had to meter off the red flower in the back. There's a 1 2/3 stop difference between the two, where it should have been 1 stop at most. (Top f10, bottom f5.6; both 1/50 sec, ISO 400)
