I have a Canon 650D with 50mm budget lens. When I take photos they end up looking different than when I preview them on the LCD display. Usually they are darker and there is less bokeh.
Is this normal? Because I see little difference between the LCD and final photo with the kit lens. Are there any settings I need to adjust on the 650D for the new 50mm lens?
Answer
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are taking a photo with the aperture set to less than the smallest f/ number possible for the lens. When you use a smaller aperture (larger f/number) then the image is darker and the depth of field is bigger (resulting in a sharper background).
When you look through the viewfinder, the aperture is kept wide open so that you can see the most light. It only stops down when you actually take the photo or when you use a depth of field preview button if your camera has it; on your 650D, this is the small circular button just beneath the lens unlock button.
The image may also be darker if you are using too fast of a shutter speed.
