[QUOTE="aroy, post: 369448, member: 16090"] You can take overexposure to a limit only. Beyond that the highlights will be blown, with no possibility to recover. I have found that in my D3300 overexposure to +1EV can be recovered, beyond that no. Of course there are times when I am shooting flowers, and the sky get blown, but that does not matter to me as I am after the flower not the sky, especially if I meter for sky and get noise in the flower. Today I carried out at test to check the noise at all the ISO setting - 100 to Hi1 (25,000). Upto ISO 1600 the correctly exposed areas were quite noise free, 3200 barely some noise at 6400 quite bad. In shadows there is noise after ISO 400, and in deep shadows even at ISO 100. That means that shadows upto -5EV or -6EV have low noise and after that noise starts showing. The good thing is that at high ISO I can use higher speed for fast moving birds or animals and get a shot, which I would miss at lower ISO, a good enough compromise. [/QUOTE]
