[QUOTE="J-see, post: 409293, member: 31330"] No matter how counter-intuitive this sounds but the underexposed shot has more color information and a wider tonal range than the correctly exposed. The sensor received the exact same information but during A/D conversion, it had to limit that information because of the ISO used while the "underexposed" didn't suffer that problem. The colors are indeed slightly off but that's actually a problem which can easily be fixed once I know how to adjust them. At a luminosity level both shots are fairly identical and colors is just a matter of adjustments. I very basically processed these since I was only concerned about noise differences. That's seems fairly similar no matter what approach. Once I start fine-tuning the processing, I can do much more with the ISO 100 than the ISO 5600 because the RAW contains more information. It's then just a matter of getting it out. What's also fantastic about ISO-less or RAW+ shooting is that it is very relaxed shooting. Set the minimum shutter and aperture required and shoot. The rest is moved to post. Evidently this is only for shots where ISO is the only option left to get more light. Else I prefer slowing down or opening up. [/QUOTE]
