That's true, Jeff. I have done this on the occasion and liked the results (although I notice I usually have to decrease the saturation as well).

"Underexposing" is a multi-faceted term, Jeff. I use it more in reference to what the camera "thinks" is correct exposure. I suppose a more accurate term might be that I rate the camera for a higher...
