General Help Q&A / ETTR, iso and speed
May 17, 2015, 09:55:01 AM
Ok, the past few weeks I've been trying to get this ETTR figured out for sunset timelapse.

I still get brightness steps in my end-result and I believe I've figured out why it happens.

OK, so ETTR controls iso and exposure.  It starts at iso100 and moves the exposure gradually to the right.  If it gets to the exposure limit on the right, it moves iso to the right, thus iso200.  That's where I get the brightness step.  From what I can tell and imagine, shouldn't it move to iso200 and move exposure to the left at the same time in order to get the same image brightness before and after the step ???

Have I still got an option or setting not figured out or ... ?

Hi,

I'm looking into purchasing a Canon EOS camera and I'm not sure which one to chose.

As a hobby I'm interested in extreme weather (thunderstorms, cloudscapes, night-lightning, etc).  I now have a Sony DSC-H3 which is absolutely more and more slowing me down in what I want to do.  So I figure I need a DSLR for mulitple reasons.

So what I want to do (which I currently can't) is:
- create photographic timelapses (not increased speed video as I do now) (intervalometer function in ML ?)
- have more flexible control over exposure for (night) lightning photography (my current camera takes equal time to process a shot after recording it, so 30" recording means 30" processing, which results in a LOT of lighting-bolts not ending up on my photo's simply cuz my cam is buzzy 50% of the time not recording).
- be able to use a remote/wire trigger for night-trypod photography (now I have to use the timer-trigger in order to have no movement in the picture).
- generaly better photo quality.

SO .. all this brings me to my question.
Since I learned that not all models have ML support .. and not all that do have all features available .. which model DOES have the "Shoot features" .. I think the intervalometer is what I want for timelapse, right ?
Before I learned about ML, I was looking at 1200D, 100D or 700D.  So now .. 700D remains .. but does it have the intervalometer function ?  If not, which models ML does ?

Thnx !

This maybe a tip for the website-builders ... instead of listing the models that have variable degree of ML support .. show a table with checkmarks to show which models have which options available ... ? no ?
