Shawn, This past weekend was a prime example for switching ISO, for me.
Friday I was going from the registratration/expo area indoors out to the bright sunshine. I was in and out and had to change ISO and white balance everytime. I did have a couple of instances of taking a shot with the wrong setting - snapshots with no time to look at settings until after the shot was taken and the instant was gone. During race day I was again in the sunshine and then stepping into the massage area and food tents where white balance and sometimes ISO was changes. And we will not even go into metering changes... Cesar Panama City, Florida P.S. Spent a couple of hours yesterday, during work, watching touch and go remote-control landings of a drone QF-4 about 50 feet away from me. Pity I could not have a camera :-( -----Original Message----- From: Shawn K. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 09, 2004 11:00 PM Rob, I was wondering why it is you are required to switch ISO so often?? Isn't this akin to constantly changing out the film in your camera?? I mean if it's a sunny day, a person doesn't really need to make allowances for ISO, simply set it to 200 with a decently fast lens and it is unlikely you will need to adjust ISO until the sun sets. If you are shooting moving subjects on a cloudy day, set it to 400/800 and shoot what you need to shoot. If you are indoors and someone is turning the lights on and off, then maybe I can see your point. <snip> -Shawn -----Original Message----- From: Rob Studdert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 09, 2004 11:31 PM On 9 May 2004 at 20:47, William Robb wrote: > Hate to say it, but you may have bought the wrong brand of camera > without realizing it. I bought the only digital SLR Pentax has produced, doesn't mean I have to like it. Rob Studdert
