Thanks for the clear text. So it is just an instruction on how to use the RF. This is indeed as I do it (maybe 30-40%??).

A question on ,noise'.

The M11 manual says "Except when high sensitivities are used, noise is luckily negligible." [p77]

Is this really your experience? 

[In my M10 with 47 MP when I go to 100% to check for instance focus, the details are often washed and absorbed in noise sometimes even well below 2500A. The lighting temp is the reason of course.]

Tolerance of noise is probably a personal thing. Unless pixel peeping, I find 5000 perfectly ok, especially for black and white but if you zoom in you can see a fair amount of noise. Above that, not really unless it’s needed to get the shot. Running the dng through DxO PureRaw solves the problem though - the software is transformative.

Thanks, and I found out that noise reduction/luminance with a low detail level setting works well too in such circumstances.
