I shot with fully manual exposure, camera is absolutely too slow to capture quick situations with automatic exposure modes. And if the sun is blocked or suddenly shines and I don't have time to adjust exposure or aperture to more suitable for the situation, pictures are too dark or blown out. And only usable iso-sensitivity for my nimble superzoom is 80 or max 100.
Understand the issue. Sucks to have great opportunities missed through equipment.
Check your PM.
