I honestly can't say, as I've never shot fireworks with NR off. I did some night time shots with the *istD (early on when I first got it), with NR on & off, & based on the results I decided to always leave NR on. > When you write about `the wait > between shots`, how long is it on average? Due to the way the NR is done it's twice the original exposure time. For example if it was a 10 second exposure, with NR on, you have to wait 20 seconds. As the camera makes a second exposure to "map" the noise. > And what is behind the `popular tought` > in this instance, that one should forego NR when shooting fireworks? I think it's mainly about saving time. There is a lot going on during a fireworks display, and the scene is constantly changing. Most people don't want to miss a shot while the camera does it double exposure noise reduction thing. I have to add that I've never gone out looking to shoot fireworks, I just happen to live somewhere that I can see them from the front yard regularly. I never remember that they are going to be on, so it's always a mad rush to get everything set up in time. :-) Cheers, Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
