I'm finding these days that I have the gamma somewhere between 60% and 80%. This is a total change from last year where the gamma was set always to 45% (limited by the old camera).
Here's a trick - set the gamma low while you're focussing, cause that makes the features easier to see, and then set it high while you capture. Don't worry that the image looks pale and washed out, you are actually capturing and storing *more* colour levels with the higher gamma, so there will be more detail in the final image.
Leaving the gamma on 1.0 is probably not advisable, that seems to be going too far, but try with values between 50% and 75%.
You can always adjust the gamma later on to take it back to the darker image, but when you do this you are losing a good portion of the subtle shades in the image.
