I acquired the above last year and havent really played about with it.....but i took some photos thursday using the iA mode at full zoom (suspect into digital approx 2400mm) they came out exceptionally dark..

Can anyone help as to whether this is likely to be vignetting due to that zoom or something else?
and for a simpleton what settings i should be using...i've watched a couple of good videos on YT but had some issues as i mainly want to use this for birding.
Issues i noticed the other, that the auto-focus can take some time which is critical when birding. and the 60x zoom doesnt really equate to the 60x zoom of my telescope which i suppose is due to objective lens size?

all photos taken today Linnit... Now i thought this was ringed plover - but looking at this maybe little ringed (dark bill). However all the photos i have taken appear quite a lot darker than i thought they would be - some because i was lookign into light but i suspect mainly due to extent...
