Subject: The Nine Second Difference
http://home.earthlink.net/~my-pics/2up.jpg
Just nine seconds separate these two pics. They are almost identical
shots. Both were made with the istDs, both at a rating of 3200 ISO, both
@
70mm, both at an aperture of 5.6, both using multi-segment metering, both
using auto focus (more on that later!), both on one of the automatic
modes,
yet they are a stop apart, with the top pic made @ 1/30 sec and the bottom
@ 1/15.
What crummy results these are. The pics, imo, should have an identical
exposure. They would were a funky old manual camera body being used. Is
this the kind of erratic results one can expect from high-tech cameras,
or
is there some sort of failure to communicate or understand on my part?
Why
would these pics be so far apart in their results?
Pretty amazing ain't it?
I find it to be pretty common on the D if I shoot many shots quickly.
It just goes erratic for some reason.
