is there anyway to tell if a picture has been overexposed?
i understand that theres a metering thing to help with exposure, but i believe sometimes the sensor might not be able to "sense" properly?

See your camera Histogram ^^
If its to the right means overexposed. Too left means underexposed.
Average in the middle range gd! :thumbsup:
That is not exactly accurate bro..
It depends on the scene itself also...

It is easy to tell if it is grossly overexposed. Given a particular scene, there is no single or a unique correct exposure in photography. However, there is an accepted range of exposures for standard scenes that are generally accepted by most people...is there anyway to tell if a picture has been overexposed?

The various metering modes are made to cater for different needs. The standard expousre for most modern camera is still based on an average value of approximately 18% Grey for a normal properly exposed image..Apart from playing around with the EV, how can the various metering mode help?i think it would be good if any pros can list the modes and share on their properties in conjunction with some example situations?
When you see a photo, ask yourself if it is too bright. If you think it is, then its overexposed. How you feel about the photo is more important than getting it "perfectly exposed" at times.
sometimes you want to deliberately overexpose say for example you are shooting a white object, if not your camera will compensate and make it grey and sometimes you deliberately underexpose if you are shooting a black object to render the color black and not grey...
So it depends on what you are shooting...
But for normal scenes, there should be a function when you playback the shown all the "blown-out" ie overexposed areas...
thanks in advance DIAVONEX for letting me borrow ur image
in other words, if i wanna shoot a white object, i should actually try spot metering to help me prevent the white colour turn grey? and if im shooting black, i should underexpose to retain the blacker black? overexpose to keep the whiter white?
is it something like that?

To me Histogram is just a guide
Nothing beat to see the picture taken on ur cam LCD creen
U like it, u keep
U not happy with it, + or - EV and shoot again
