[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 79183, member: 9521"] I've been reading up and trying to understand EV but I many of the references I've been reading doesn't seem like the authors thoroughly understand or at least they're unable to explain it in a way that I can wrap my head around. It seems like they circle about the subject but don't fully explain it. However, I've been thinking about EV and here's my take on it. It seems to me that the EV adjustment is simply a secondary fine tuning attenuation for the voltage coming from the sensor to the processor. And I believe this is why the effect is different than simply limiting the amount of light that reaches the sensor by way of shutter speed. Because in the case of increasing shutter speed and reducing the amount of photons that reach the sensor the secondary signal from the sensor to the processor would still have the same volume albeit less information. Again, almost like a volume knob on a high-end stereo... sorta. So Jeff, is this even close to the way EV functions or no? [/QUOTE]
