I saw on my site, that few photographers have overexposed the image OF LUNALR ECLIPSE....same thing, they use the aperture priority...they understand that Aperture priority or Shutter priority is the solution of every image they expose, but regret being the image overexposed......
2. IT is lethargy on their part to switch to manual mode and take the reading...However, to see the sun with naked eye may be dangerous, but here the adjustments can be made easily.
3. I have one prosumer camera, which has the maximum shutter speed, unfortunately upto 1/1000....this i cud manage in lunar eclipse, but not in solar eclipse....However, for this shot i gave 1/1600 at f5.6, on my DSLR because the luminance was dull at this juncture....at 300mm i got a good image and enlarged it to have better details...Therefore, i wud suggest that before buying any prosumer or DSLR, it is best to go thru the manual, finding out the most important settings....If all goes well, i wud rather suggest for a DSLR and a separate 70-300 original or sigma APO lens.
