Okay. So I make my exposure with no light. Then, automatically, the camera makes another. The second would be the same, since the first was taken with absolutely no light; one is subtracted from the other -- leaving what?
Well, ideally - nothing. The camera didn't know you were taking a picture of nothing, so it's just doing what it's told.
If you turn of the automatic noise reduction you will get camera response back right away after the exposure - AND you will see just how amazingly noisy a multi-minute exposure at high ISO looks. It ain't pretty.
By the way, the new camera has not yet arrived. The agents are waiting for a shipment and will send it next week. I am to send this one back in the same box. The six volt battery has been running the camera since I mentioned it had arrived and reads 5.8 volts. The La Crosse charger, which arrived yesterday, is trying to bring back a set of NiCads to life that may be beyond resurrection. They were almost new (unused) but a few years old.
NiCads? In this day of high-capacity no-memory-effect NiMH batteries, why would you even be bothering with trying to resurrect NiCads - unless you're just trying to prove that it can be done?
