[QUOTE="J-see, post: 406283, member: 31330"] No, that's the beauty of this. If I had shot the ducks using ISO 1600, my sensor would have captured the exact same data in manual mode as me shooting it at ISO 100. There is zero difference there. The only difference is that at ISO 100 I use the data as is while at ISO 1600, that same data gets multiplied. In reality my ISO 100 shot has an 14.5EV DR (if the scene has such range) while the ISO 1600 has less, even when it looks correctly exposed. It just looks like being limited in data because we are used to "correctly" exposed shots. Mine require me to manually do that but I use the same data, except in some cases. If you open one of your shots in post and underexpose it three stops, that shot will look like the RAW I start with. Yet by you underexposing it 3 stops, you don't throw away data. Neither do I by not "overexposing" it. It's really easy to test this. Take a shot of something that requires you to increase ISO and then take the same shot at ISO 100. In post adjust the 100"s exposure with the same stop increase the high ISO has. Then compare the data. You have to do this in manual mode else A or S will change. [/QUOTE]
