And by under exposing the entire image 2 stops, to say nothing of the darkest areas...On the other hand, as Daniel notes, it's a good technique when there is no alternative. Which is really what shooting at 1600 or 3200 with film are all about. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Daniel Ridings Sent: Saturday, September 04, 2004 3:22 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Leica Digilux 2 @ 1600 :-) > So any of you other folks out there with Leica digital camera's try > this and if so, how well did it work for you? It works well with almost all digital cameras ... when the alternative is not to take a shot. Nikon even gives you a setting for it. Nikon D100 has ISO 200 - 1600 and then it goes over to HI-1 and HI-2, which is basically ISO 1600 with -1 and -2 EV preset. Those who have a D70 without the HI-1 and HI-2 can just set it by hand and get the same results. I use this method all the times for sports (ice skating).
