Consistently Dark Images

[XopheCasa]

Thanks in advance of any tips you can give me.

When shooting with my A7iv, I'm coming back to the studio with consistently dark images, not necessarily underexposed, but less bright than the histogram would suggest. I'm always ETTR, letting the tips of the histogram touch the right side, and I believe I'm getting a good exposure, but typically these images are darker than I expect.

I've been shooting on this camera for only a year or so (I'm a newbie), and the practice and advice are so helpful. But what else should I be doing besides ETTR?

Cheers,
Christophe
