Re: Basic Photoshop settings for RAW JPEG conversion.. EX2F?

A big problem with the camera is that the configurability is beyond pathetic for what is supposed to be a top end enthusiast camera and it just will not allow you to set an ISO limit and will never go over 400 in auto modes. Except sometimes you may get 800 in smart mode.

It therefore ventures in to very slow shutter speeds or just underexposes when higher ISO would be preferable. Any enthusiast compact worth its salt gives you the choice of the upper ISO level you prefer. This is all part of the rudimentary nature of the EX2f firmware which is pretty much the same as the EX1f from what I have read. I cannot agree that this is a feature of the camera to be praised.

The camera program assumes hand-holding by you. Therefore the 1/20th sec. shutter speed. With a small sensor camera like this ISO 400 is high -- very high and the camera program is reluctant to raise it any higher. Good call there by the camera. That leaves you with f/1.4 plain and simple. You need a smaller f/stop for this shot but what do you want the camera to do about that? Raise the ISO even higher -- hopefully not. Lower the shutter speed -- not if you're hand-holding the camera.
