Title: Gradual exposure for 5DM2?
Post by: ch_d on January 22, 2013, 09:13:01 PM
Hey.
Will the feature "Gradual Exposure" be available for the 5DM2 (((or the 600D - it´s my second dslr)))?

Thanx, Chris

It's usable, however I wouldn't recommend using it for important / paid work since it hasn't been thoroughly tested (unlike stable versions).

Thank you!
It is just for personal camera testings.

I don´t get it? What do i have to set up that this works? I enabled gradual exposure but nothing happens (for example from filming indoor and out of the window)

i have the 5DMII and manual lenses ... is this gradual expsure just for the apertur?

Gradual exposure adjusts whatever value you're changing smoothly, including ISO and aperture. Try using it with exposure preset (reverting to saved exposure settings with the press of a button) and you'll see it in action  ;)

thank you.
this means i have to adjust something while shooting?
for example shooting indoor with iso 640 and tilt to a window and press the iso button to go to iso 160?

Before shooting set you exp value for indoor, then use the exposure preset feature (present in nightly) to save those setting by pressing SET or INFO (depends on how you enabled it in ML menu), now set exp value to what is needed for the window and press SET/INFO again to savev tose settings too and switch back to the first "indoor" values.
No with gradual exposure on record the indoor scene, when moving to the window press SET, your expo value will change to what is needed for the window and gradual exposure will make the change smooth instead of immediate.
