do you think this is a camera design issue? or maybe its just a camera sample calibration issue? jco

I set the bracketing to 3 exposures and then set the mid-point to +0.3EV, netting effectively a 0, +.3 and +.7 bracket set. Walked around and made about 75 exposures this way, that's 25 scenes. Opening them with Bridge/Camera Raw, I found that the K10D's RAW exposure consistency is much better than the *ist DS. With the *ist DS I had come to us +0.3EV to +0.7EV as my baseline for good RAW exposure, greater than 80% of my photos needed that much EV Compensation... About 20 of the 25 scenes exposed with the K10D today were right on the money exposure-wise at 0EV compensation. The rest required just +0.3EV exposure, and three of those were due to scene dynamics that made it obvious why. Yet another "I'm very pleased with what I see." moment. ;-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
