If you are outside under the clear night sky and the moonlight is the only light source to be perceived, your eyes adapt and you see objects well enough to discern certain details and outlines. I would like to know what setting do you guys use that would best replicate what your own eye sees when fully adjusted. Give me the iso, shutter speed and aperture that you would use. Once again, only moonlight, no streetlights, no fireworks. Because every time I give it a go, it seems the images come out either too dark or too bright, far from being real like. Thanks you for taking time to answer my question.
 
Nothing but moonlight. Click on "More properties" on any of these for settings.

(There's a little incandescent light camera right in that one.)
