DR Auto instead of D-Range Priority

Thanks! Very useful.

I remember consciously switching from DR Auto to DR-Priority Auto, but I don't remember why. I'll switch back.

I think that's a good idea since you're a jpeg only shooter.

DR Auto (i.e. the camera automatically selects DR100 or DR200) will not entirely change the look of your jpeg should the camera switch in between a series. I think DR (auto or manual) is actually a good tool for jpeg shooters. At least for some. (The raw shooter does not need to it.)

Instead of DR Priority, I'd definitely rather manually adapt the shadows and highlights. Fully with you. That's more controllable and will give you consistent jpeg results when you shoot a series. (The tone curve has no impact on the raw.)
