Mark (smokey mow) Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Well done and its a great camera. P.s. What lens did it come with? I went for the twin lens package from Jessops in the end linky. Much as it pains me to buy with them their final price was worlds better than anything I could find on line or through the magazine adverts. Lens wise it's an 18-55mm and 55-200mm Quote
Matt Seabrook Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Looks a good price. Have you found active D light on the camera yet? If it's not switched on turn it on and then there's no need to bracket shots and the photos will look more natural than a bracketed shot. Quote
Blatman Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 With the Olympus you could have iso bracketed and taken 3 shots with 1 at different ISO speeds , then blended the 3 together and got a more detail in both the light and dark areas of the picture D5000's can do bracketing as can many of the Nikon DSLR's. It's not just an Olympus thing ISO in one shot ISO? On the D5000 I dunno On my D70... er... doesn't look like it. Aperture and shutter speed are the bracketing variables if I'm understanding the blurb correctly. ISO adjustment would be nice to have and make my head hurt more... Quote
Lurksalot Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 It is very handy when trying to get photos with a little extra dynamic range, without having to set up tripods and the like. shoots typically -1, 0, +1 EV in one click by using a range of ISO values . A lot simpler than aperture bracketing and doesn't mess with DOF. so that blending inages together is a piece of cake Quote
Mark (smokey mow) Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 I'm just about following about bracketing and after a quick read it looks like mine works in the same way as Blatman's D70 but what is DOF Quote
Matt Seabrook Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Depth of field. To be honest I have bracketing on my camera and thought it would be a good idea but have used it a handful of times and never really liked it. With a Nikon it changes the shutter speed not the ISO. If you shoot in RAW then there is no need to worry about bracketing as you can play with the bits you dont like in your PC software and not let the camera choose what it wants. Which is what I do as it gives you a lot more control. Its a bit like driving an old automatic. If your lazey it does the job but not as good as you can. Quote
Lurksalot Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Thanks for that stunning insight Matt My camera can bracket using ISO, shutter speed , aperture or focus , in Jpeg mode and RAW mode if I choose , all have their place and reasons for use , using RAW mode also has it's place and most of the stuff I do doesn't warrant it , it has f*****l to do with being lazy Quote
