Re: HDR on the M5 and M6

HDR with only +/- 1 EV is unnecessary with these sensors. In high-contrast situations you can underexpose by 1 or - with low ISOs - even 3 EV and "save" the pic in RAW or even make it look like HDR.

For night shots with high ISO that might be different, as you can´t pull up shadows much without getting excessive noise. But for normal ISOs up to 800 you don´t need the built-in HDR function at all.

Anyway, for a truly usable built-in HDR function you need control of the spread and of the exposure compensation, like the Sonys have it since the ancient a500.
