Dear All I am trying to catch up with some of the PDML postings regarding 'correct' exposure of RAW format pictures etc and have come across the following links, no doubt very familiar to most folk here but I hope it doesn't hurt to repeat them:
http://www.digitalphotopro.com/tech/exposing-for-raw.html http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/expose-right.shtml http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t10367.htm l One of the benefits of cameras like the Sony R1 with its EVF was that you could learn to see the correct exposure as it changed in the viewfinder. Not so with a K20D Pentax! In a way, I am glad, as it is making me learn to 'see properly' again ... I hope. One question though: exposing to the right will invariably mean slower shutter speeds. Good that the K20D has shake reduction then but it occurs to me to ask what is the best ISO setting for minimum noise? I gather that digital SLR sensors have a 'base' setting, i.e. its true sensitivity. Does anyone know what it is for the K20D? Answers to the same question on dpreview are not conclusive and vary equally between 100 and 200. So, in an ideal world, where I am placing my camera on a tripod for that glorious landscape shot, what is the best ISO setting for image quality - 100 or 200? Thanks Lee P.S. What on earth does 'PESO' stand for? Is there an FAQ for this list? -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
