Re: Olympus E-PM2 Actual ISO vs IS0 set in camera? -my TEST

Anders,

Later today I will run a simple and practical test to find how much room each camera has from the camera defined exposure to the point of the start clipping and post results on this thread. I will add to the test D7000, which I do not use much. I will post my results here. This test should give some intuitive feel for the use of overexposure. Even it would be different based on the scene my guess won't be that wild

Yesterday, I have pointed each of three cameras (all set the same)  on the same litem object and their selected shutter speed was the same. Stopped as it was too late. Today I will step through the exposure compensation (+1/3EV step) until the clipping.

Again, thank you for the help!
