Confused about some new features in the Nightly builds

[sutobe]

Hey,

yesterday I installed for the first time since 2.3 release one of the nightlys, updated to the actual version today.

I found some features I really have no idea of what they do and I hope this is the right place to ask. If not, I'm sorry.


First one is

Uni WB Correct which can be found in DISPLAY --> Advanced Settings


Second one is

Snap Simulation in the DEBUG menu


Third one is

Expo Lock in the EXPO menu........I understand you can activate and deactivate several things in its sub menu, but not really getting what I could use that function for?


Fourth one is

Expo Presets also in the EXPO menu.....ok, switching between two sets of expo presets......but what for?



Fifth one which I'm quite embarrased about to ask and is not a particular feature of the nightly builds

LV Display in the EXPO menu.  I'm not seeing any difference in LV when I turn Exp Sim on or off :-/


Thanks for any help

1. if you use uniwb, it's obvious

2. it doesn't take pics

4. requested many times; tip: combine with gradual exposure

5. see 60D/5D2 manual from Canon

1.  I feel like a noobier noob that I am, but tbh, I don't see any difference in LV, no matter what value I chose or if I turned it off (good idea by turning it off?)

2. I does, that's why I was asking xD  I set it on Beeb & blink but the camera moves the mirror and saves the pic to SD as usual

3. thanks, will read through ----> EDIT: Ok that sounds legit. Have to try it out once I think the moment has come.

4. ok, I'm not seeing it (yet) what I could use it for. maybe when I'm more familiar with some photography methods

5. Check, thanks ;-)

1. More reading: http://www.guillermoluijk.com/tutorial/uniwb/index_en.htm
2. Only works with some ML picture-intensive tasks (racking/stacking). It's just for debugging, nothing else
4. I guess you never shot a video transitioning from inside->outside with manual exposure controls.
