Optimal exposure is different for Raw than it is for JPEG. JPEG doesn't allow you to pull back the exposure, so while the definition doesn't change the exposure you use to attain maximum DR does ...

When shooting Raw, overexposed means you've clipped one or more channels where they are relevant -- full stop. Shifting zones is the entire concept of ETTR; it's not OETTR (Over-Expose To The Right). ...

It's an interesting observation, though I would challenge that it's specific to the center and not more likely related to the focus area (so incorporates a Spot metering trait in that regard), at ...

The center bias is adjustable on Center-weighted metering, it is not on Matrix metering. Also, Matrix metering uses several parameters to determine what it "thinks" is the best exposure. You ...

See here: https://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/dslr/basics/18/01.htm Center-weighted metering will always weight exposure heavily to what is in the middle of the frame, except when you set it to ...

That's not how Center-weighted metering works. Do you have any documentation on that? Have you tried doing anything to trick Center-weighted metering to change the exposure based on any of those ...

It is not a "form of Matrix metering" though using the center area of the frame as a starting point to weight the exposure probably is a factor in how Matrix metering evaluates the "optimal" ...

https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/63869058 I recommend avoiding Matrix metering; I use Center-weighted metering set to "Average" and typically have EC set to +.03, but I often end up chimping to ...

Anyway, I'm done with this pointless exercise.

The resulting silence isn't affirmation.

Butting in.

That's not correct. See: Merriam Webster definition here. Note that the first use of the term was used in 1860 in accordance with that definition, and nowhere in the other definitions used by them ...

I agree, but then they shouldn't be actually moderating those threads. It's like a judge participating in their own trial as a judge and not as a litigant -- so even if there is no financial ...

Then they should defer the moderation to another moderator.

It's a conflict of interest. The moderator can delete others replies, or choose to get in the last word and lock the thread.

They shouldn't be entitled to the same rights that people have, just as they can't suffer the same consequences for their misdeeds that people (sometimes) suffer for theirs. I said, in not so many ...

How do you know that? Ebbers and a few others are really the exceptions that prove the rule. Anyway... My expectation/assumption would be that corporations are not the same as people, and thus not ...

They locked up the individual, not the corporation.

What a nonsensical word salad! "Nice" defense of corporate criminality there. Look, PG&E was convicted of manslaughter here in California. If they were a "person" they would be in jail for life ...

I'll believe that when we can start locking them up for their misdeeds.
