It could possibly be related to the Picture Style which I believe is what the jpeg would be generated based upon... There are multiple Picture Styles and several parameters within each Style.

Exactly. It’s not so much overexposed as it has very low dynamic range and contrast with no black or shadow information. Does your camera have menu settings for image characteristics when in auto, such as sharpness and contrast, etc? If so, how is the contrast set? The image has pretty fair dynamic range between the white tree bark and the dark forest - I would expect the histogram to be spread across the entire scale if properly exposed instead of the way it is with nothing in the left third.

I am useing a Nikon 7200 with a tamron 150-600 at 600mm , shot is very light I took it on auto , how to correct when taking shot , I did some correction with light room .picture is better the closer I get ?


I have this lens also and use on a D7000 and a D810. One thing I noticed is that the image isn't as sharp as I would expect. If you have not calibrated the lens using the TAP-IN Console, I suggest that you consider doing so. Well worth the effort. The photo is salvageable. I copied your top photo and spent a few minutes playing with it. I use Aurora HDR 2019 and tweaked it also with an image rotation and crop, then used Topaz Gigapixel A.I. to increase the number of pixels, and finally Topaz Sharpen A.I. to improve the focus a bit.

I rarely use LR anymore and Photoshop for only certain purposes. I generally use Luminar, Aurora HDR, and the Topaz suite of tools for post-processing.

I'm more asking than telling, but does anyone think it could be partly due to glare on the lens surface?

I don't think so since the 2nd image has more appropriate contrast. But then maybe the window was up for shot 1 and down for shot 2.

What window? No mention of a window in the shots by the OP...

I don't think auto meant automobile, rather auto exposure. I was wondering about glare on a unshielded lens
