[QUOTE="Blade Canyon, post: 407184, member: 15302"] Thank you for posting that. The relevant part for this discussion is the "S/N and Exposure Decisions" segment. It was very interesting, but this is the conclusion: "[B]Bottom line: Read noise at high ISO is much smaller than read noise at low ISO, in terms of the error in photon counting that it represents. Thus, better image quality is obtained for using the highest ISO for which the signal is not clipped." [/B] Which means I'll just go back to shooting like I've been shooting. Expose to the Right, even including the ISO setting. I should clarify, however, that the author of that piece says "Exposing To The Right" [B]by adjusting ISO[/B] is usually taught for the wrong reason, and that the usual arguments about levels and dynamic range are wrong (per J-see), but that the signal/noise ratio is the real reason to do it. If you read that segment, he's saying J-see is correct, right up until he explains the noise part. [/QUOTE]
