Msohio Posted July 20, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 20, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) As a practical matter, What is the difference between shooting at 28 and the cropping in post, rather than using the crop modes?? Seems one has more flexibility if we shoot 28 and do the job in post. With my FX Nikon 810, I never use the DX crop, just do it in post and the pixel peeping at 100-200% does not show a difference to my eye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

prk60091 Posted July 20, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 20, 2015 The only difference I can see, is that by doing in camera you know the FL -whereas in PP it is guesswork Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjh Posted July 20, 2015 Share #3 Posted July 20, 2015 As a practical matter, What is the difference between shooting at 28 and the cropping in post, rather than using the crop modes?? The difference is that the camera knows you only care about the cropped part of the image and measures the exposure accordingly. Still you don’t loose flexibility as the raw file contains all the sensor data; only the JPEG actually gets cropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom0511 Posted July 20, 2015 Share #4 Posted July 20, 2015 It also helps you framing, if you shoot in crop mode with the Q you get the result in LR and the jpg. So you don't have to remember...hey, this was an image I had planned/taken with the idea to crop it later. Its also nice for review, because you see the framing as you had plannen. Same probably for the histogram (I guess) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk.kat Posted July 20, 2015 Share #5 Posted July 20, 2015 Does the camera photometry ignore the rest of the frame, seeing that the image is saved in full 28mm in RAW? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkonkkrete Posted July 20, 2015 Share #6 Posted July 20, 2015 That should be easy to test: just take a photo of a black sheet of paper on a white background (or vice versa), where the central paper fills the crop lines, and go back and forth between the different crop modes.
