Micro 4/3 at ISO 3200

Davoud: Uh, OK, looks good, but do people really go around shooting at ISO 3200? If so, why, outside of astrophotography? Eric Stevens: All OK, but high ISO cuts down the possible dynamic range. Keep it low if you can. Exactly so. ISO 3200 may be trendy, but I'm interested in picture quality, not trendiness. I shoot between ISO 100 and 200. Not enough light? That's what off-camera flashes are for https://www.flickr.com/photos/primeval/33738820160/, https://www.flickr.com/photos/primeval/33278813924. However, there are times flash is prohibited, not convenient, or available. Not everybody shoots under controlled conditions, so flexibility with the exposure triangle is desirable. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I shoot almost everything at lowest ISO, but there can be situations in which you need to crank up the ISO because you can't use a flash (for instance if the subject is not static and very far away). -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

Shooting high ISO is just another creative option, especially with newer sensors. While it is optimal to shoot at native ISO there are definitely times when higher ISO is desirable. Remember there are folks who shoot genres other than astrophotography, or macro photography of insects. Today many cameras perform well in low light at ISO 3200, 6400, and to 12800 and beyond. You will find that a new trend is to use Auto-ISO with a base ISO, a minimum shutter speed, and max ISO set. Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Fujifilm and others all have this feature, and it works well. I use it all depending on circumstances; fixed ISO, (native and selected sub-native, medium, and high), and three different Auto-ISO set-ups. All OK, but high ISO cuts down the possible dynamic range. better to have low dynamic range than nothing at all. Keep it low if you can. *if* you can. it's not always possible, and also why auto-iso is a good choice. Which is why I use it. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

I can think of quite a number of places where folks might like to shoot where your Profoto softbox, stand, cables, and foam reflectors would not be welcome, or convenient. As I have said, having flexibility with the exposure triangle is just another tool for any photographer. Here is a SOOC JPEG without a softbox or any other flash shot with available light at ISO 6400, just a +1 EV adjustment on the camera (X-T2). No cropping, no resize, no post processing adustment this is a WYSIWYG image. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bl9zn1fxpeqfy5j/_DSF4211.JPG ....and an ISO 3200 SOOC JPEG, along with an ISO 400 SOOC JPEG, shot on the X-E2, all available light and no post processing; https://www.dropbox.com/s/vltkablfng34k7k/_DSF4104-2.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/ho4tzfi4k2w15dg/_DSF4091.jpg -- Regards, Savageduck |

In article , Noons says... With my EM5, I've used up to 1/250 on an adapted Sigma 500mm/8 mirror lens with up to 3200ISO with relatively good results for Saturn and Jupiter. With the moon I've used high ISO to crank up the shutter speed and take 40Mpixel shots with the sensor shifting multiple exposure. Now I'm curious. Have you posted your images somewhere, so that we could have a look at them? No, sorry. I don't post large images anywhere anymore. Had enough of the bull**** that goes on online with copying of images and using them without authorization. When some idiot stole one of my images in Gurushots and messed it up in Photoshop to enter a competition, I drew the line... I have some small ones in Facebook. The album is open to public and you can have a peek there. Excuse the Portuguese in some of the comments. I've added info on how each shot was made for most shots and what they are of. Bear in mind I'm in Australia so the Moon is upside down! They are a bit old (around 2 years) and very small, but should be enough to give you an idea of what's possible with simple gear. https://www.facebook.com/nuno.pintod...7241591&type=3 Nowadays I use a Takahashi Teegul clock mount that makes astrophotography of deep sky objects a LOT easier! |

Have you ever tried gig photogrpahy or some sports photography, I was watching the snooker last night While yuo say yuo shoot between 100-200 why are both the images you posted as some sort of proof both been shot at 400 ? He wants to prove that diffraction is an non issue a short FLs and thus needs that extra stop. -- Bats can't tell us apart! ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

So an idea use for a mirrorless camera but I have one of those and where as a DLSR will have a mirror making the noise my canon EOS M3 has the sensor flapping up and down making all the noise. (unless I switch to video mode) What sensor flapping up and down? If it does, that would be a serious concern for Canon. But I have seen pictures from snooker rooms even of 40 years ago people did manage to take photos, pehaps the photographers today do really need 12 FPS to capture the cue ball kissing the pink. Again makes me wonder who the best photogrpahers are those that used film with a 2-5 FPS or those with a 12 FPS. -- Regards, Savageduck |
