In general, we want to boost the dynamic range of our cameras. However, sometimes we're shooting a very flat scene, or a lens with low contrast. If we wanted to, for example, expand six stops of dynamic range into 12, or 14, bits of data it seems that one way of doing this *might* be to increase the ISO, but that would also increase the noise.
Are there be any electronic ways of doing this that wouldn't change the sensitivity, or increase the noise? I don't expect that there are ways for an end user to do this, but could a camera manufacturer allow you to dial in the dynamic range of your camera for a particular scene? -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- 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.
