It's okay to expose to keep the shadows from going completely dark, but you usually shouldn't need plus 1 or 2. I rarely have to use plus EV with the K7. When I do, it's usually +.3. or sometimes +.7 when the most important part of the shot is in shadow. If you expose accurately at ISO 400, you

Nope - Tav adjusts the ISO to expose correctly, based on your settings of shutter speed and aperture. It's completely different from HyperManual, which uses the current ISO. On Mon, Feb 08, 2010 at 07:26:47AM +1000, Tanya Love wrote: > H, I see your point Bruce, but I thought that that
