[J.R.]

You are quite provocative against me, with a answer like that, if you understand, your answers had been different

JR point out one thing there Im wrong

Im used to discuss facts at Dpreview, luminous-landscape, DXO, fred miranda and I have newer met a answers like "As usual, you appear to be right whatever Mikael would like us to believe so ... What's the point?" this shows only poor knowledge..

There seems to be a big problems here when Im questioning for example Neuro, Jrista answers.

I don't for one second doubt your knowledge of cameras. You come up with interesting and good information usually.

My humble suggestion to you is that you should use the preview button while posting and read carefully what you write so that incorrect / incomplete information is not supplied. My problem with you arose at the time of the "Half The Photons" discussion where, from your posts I got the impression that changing the ISO would somehow change the photons hitting the sensor. I'm sure you knew fully well that changing the ISO does not change the number of photons hitting the sensor then why the charade? What's the point of your expertise if you ultimately end up confusing people - Well you may very well say I'm a noob but there are a number of noobs on CR who log on only to look for some help?

Every time you have landed up in an argument was because you initially posted something which is incomplete / incorrect and when this was pointed out instead of simply agreeing that you missed out on something, you have adopted the "me against them" approach. Constant posts containing phrases "you don't understand how a sensor works", "poor knowledge", "you have no clue" are in bad taste and are sufficient to get people riled up.

Not having English as your first language doesn't help matters either.

BTW, If you are right, there is no need for you to "prove yourself right" - there are sufficient intelligent people here who will agree with you.

Neuro, Mt Spokane, wickidwombat and the others get a lot of respect here coz they try to help without insulting anyone.

I agree. Mikael is knowledgeable and his posts are quite useful. The attitude problems can be sorted out keeping there are cultural issues also - He is, I believe, Swedish and his normal interaction with people may be different from what is considered usual. A word for word translation of a foreign language into English never looks good!

Mikael, you just proved J.R. right! Please do yourself a favor and re-read his note and then re-read your response. You keep doing this. You know quite a lot but do not take to time to review your writing.

You just stated above that that:

This does not automatically happen in M or B! Do you not agree? I agree that your statement would be true for P, Av, Tv and the Green Rectangle... Your statement is a generalization. However, it cant be true for all the settings on my 5D3.

@J.R. - hopefully I can clarify what Mikael 'Half The Photons' means with the above 'explanation', which I find confusing and incomplete.

Changing ISO does NOT alter the amount of light hitting the sensor. The part he leaves out (and I think it must be intentional obfuscation at this point) is that his statement applies only in an autoexposure mode (P/Av/Tv). For example, if in Av mode you switch from ISO 400 to ISO 800, the camera will then adjust the shutter speed one stop faster to give the same exposure, and it's that change in aperture that results in less light hitting the sensor. If you change ISO in M mode, there is no change in the amount of light hitting the sensor.

EDIT: I see that rpt has already corrected Mikael's incomplete explanation. @rpt - FYI, the 'explanation' also fails in Av or Tv if at the end of the range, e.g. in Tv mode, switch from ISO 800 to ISO 400, but the lens aperture is already wide open (unless Safety Shift is enabled, then the camera would force a slower shutter speed).

Fair enough. I apologize if it was overly harsh or unfair. It was meant to be helpful advice (from my perspective) which I would follow myself.

Addendum: It was not the difference of opinions or disagreement on facts but the manner in which it was repeatedly presented that I find personally distasteful IMHO.

Yup! You da man!

 

[neuroanatomist]

are you for real? then you have to adjust the time/f-stopt to the metering of the subject or you are either over expose or under expose

Ahhh...now I finally understand. Mikael's cameras have infallible metering systems. Snowscapes, fields of yellow flowers, black cats...in all cases, the metered exposure is perfect, so he can always let his camera make exposure decisions for him, so he can use ISO changes to adjust his aperture and shutter speed for him. That must be nice.

Some of you don't have a clue what discussion is about

2. 400 iso the head room is created by two stops , it means halving the hitting light twice to sensor

Indeed. You are stating now that at ISO 400, enabling HTP results in Half The Photons hitting the sensor, making it crystal clear that YOU (still) do not have a clue.

 

[J.R.]

Some of you don't have a clue what discussion is about

1.HTP at base iso , 100iso underexpose 1 stop = meteringa after 200iso = shorter time/ higher F-stop = halving the read out electrons = create a head room= fill the head room with a gain 100iso = headroom and now a new curve and rooling in the highlight smother.

2. 400 iso the head room is created by two stops , it means halving the hitting light twice to sensor= exposing after 400iso but iso gain after 200 iso = new curve and rooling in high lights

The problem that you don't seem to understand is that your posts suggest that by "only" changing the ISO by 1 stop the photons hitting the sensor will be cut in half - something that just isn't correct.

And please ... Before writing another hurried reply, see my use of the word "only".

Have a good weekend ... Whatever is left of it!

2. 400 iso the head room is created by two stops , it means halving the hitting light twice to sensor= exposing after 400iso but iso gain after 200 iso = new curve and rooling in high lights

IF you JR and others have run out of argumentation answers, tell us, or do you understand what bI have write above?

As I said before, been there, done that ... It's no use

 

[neuroanatomist]

no Im saying by exposure after 400 iso you have create a head room by 2 stops compare to 100iso
what is so difficult to understand Neuro! = exposure after 400 iso = halving the hitting lights twice compare to 100iso

Hypothetical example: I shoot jpg. I am taking a picture of a forest scene. I am in Av mode, and I set f/8 to obtain the desired DoF, and I chose ISO 400 to get a 1/100 s shutter speed at metered exposure to avoid camera shake, because I foolishly left my tripod at home. Please note, I couldn't care less about what exposure settings would be at ISO 100, 50, or 3200, that's tangential and irrelevant - I choose f/8 and ISO 400 for the reasons I stated. I take a shot, look at the review image, and see blinking highlight alerts where I want detail of the sun-dappled forest floor. I've read that HTP can preserve my highlights.

If that scenario is confusing, I'll summarize - with HTP off, I set the camera in Av mode, f/8, ISO 400, and the metered exposure gave a 1/100 s shutter speed.

Answer these questions about what happens when I set HTP to Enable:

1) Does my selected aperture of f/8 change?
2) Does the camera-selected shutter speed of 1/100 s change?
3) Does the amount of light hitting the sensor change?

Please, no hand-waving, no 'please read my earlier posts', no repeating what you've posted before, no referring to what may happen at some other ISO setting that I didn't select and don't care about - just answer those three, simple questions with a yes or a no.
