A few k7 sensor questions for the enlightened....
Well when I picked up the k7 I used highlight recovery exclusively. Noise didn't seem to be awful, though I did note the shadow noise increase. Now I find the near lack of noise makes it hard to really compare the difference @ iso 200 with it off or on. So I've come. Up. With quite a few questions:
1. Is iso 200 also just 100 pushed as it is in dr mode?
2. If not is 400 just 200 pushed in either mode?
3. With dr off, what iso speeds on k7 are native and what are pushed?
4. Is there any real dr benefit to a raw shooter outside of it helping to detect and automatically apply ev compensation to help highlights? In example with dr off, I find that I generally have to apply some negative compensation to get the same shutter speed according to my meter. I find this interesting. Its like it underexposes and pushes based upon some variable. I already know that it is pushed 100, so what is 200 with it off??
5. What do you raw, landscape shooters use out there? It seems the dr benefit @ 100 would be greater, and you could just expose to the left if need be. I mean 100 isn't always all that useful, since its kind of slow, but let's say @ 400 is there any benefit to dr being off? I'm really curious. Ok. Sorry about all the questions and any typos. No way I'm editing this on my phone....
