If the native sensibility of the Sony sensor is iso200 as it often is (with Sony), iso 100 is already less than nominal sensitivity. iso80 is surprising IMO. Less would be too harmful I believe. I expect everything below 200 to be in extended mode only as well as 25600 and 51200iso.
There's no replacement for ND filter but as Mark Roberts said, it is good to be there, just we need to know we are losing using that setting. 2010/9/19 Adam Maas <[email protected]>: > On Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 10:56 AM, Ann Sanfedele <[email protected]> wrote: >> Mark Roberts wrote: >> >>> Thibouille wrote: >>> >>> >>>> >>>> http://www.priyantha.nl/GoT/Pentax_K-5/K5_specs_pg1_verkleind.jpg >>>> >>>> 7fps, HDR with auto align, 80-51200iso (!!) >>>> >>> >>> I'm more interested in the ISO going down to 80 than up to 51200.
