stump4545 Posted February 14, 2016 Share #1 Posted February 14, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) With my original MM, I would shoot at base iso 400 and then just pull up exposure in post 3 stops, rather then just shoot at 3200 iso. shutter speed and aperture both being constant. For example: Photo 1: iso 400, shutter 1/125, aperture 2.8 and then then +3 stops in LR Photo 2: iso 3200 shutter 1/125, and aperture 2.8 and no post processing exposure adjustment. For my means, Photo 1 and Photo 2 would look the same and I wouldn't have to waster time fiddling with iso in camera. Does anyone else here shoot this way? By doing this am I losing detail or creating more noise? Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulJohn Posted February 15, 2016 Share #2 Posted February 15, 2016 I would be surprised if there were no benefits to using high iso for low light conditions. I think high iso boosts the weaker signal from the sensor before it is written to the card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joakim Posted February 17, 2016 Share #3 Posted February 17, 2016 I sometimes use my M9 like this and push in post rather than changing ISO but I haven't done it for my MM-246 or any other CMOS camera for that matter. Most of the time I have my MM set to auto ISO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jip Posted February 17, 2016 Share #4 Posted February 17, 2016 On the CCD Leica's (M8/M9/M-E/MM/S2/S006/SE006) pushing in post gets the same result as increasing ISO on the camera. Not sure about the CMOS Leica's M240/M246/S007 etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump4545 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted February 18, 2016 Does anyone know if this is also true with the 246 CMOS sensor? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramarren Posted February 18, 2016 Share #6 Posted February 18, 2016 I would just experiment and see what strategy produces better quality if I owned the MM246. I did these experiments with the M9 ages ago, but haven't done them with the M-P typ 240. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
