Still use this method. M mode. joe

Thanks for the link, I remember that thread and have since bought a DP2M.

You said: "At ISO 200 the DPm files have 2 stops of exposure latitude."

Does that mean that a "DPm" has 1 stop of exposure latitude at ISO 100?

Just curious, because I've been studying exposure lately ...

I have not used ISO 100 on the DPms very much but there is definitely less and 1 stop is probably close. I seem to remember when using the SD14 that at ISO100 it had about 0.7 stop headroom and at ISO50 there was none. joe

Thanks, Joe. Sounds like "headroom" in this case is based on highlight recovery from an average scene.
