I need to venture out my cave once in a while & start using dual iso, the posted photos are simply amazing.

Good job ;)

Hello... Nikon has this feature built-in, just shoot at ISO 100 ;)

(look in the source; one of the codename for dual ISO was "Nikon mode")

Shhh... i'm here as a canon user A1ex, i have a Nikon site for Nikon camera. ;)

Btw you still think about my offer :P

Best regards,

I'm really interested to see your photos but unfortunately your links are broken - DropBox permissions issue maybe? The reason I'm so curious is because I'm going to Son Doong Cave in April and have been wondering what sort of results I'll be able to get with dual ISO. I'll have limited battery capacity, will only have once chance at the trip and I won't be able to do any processing until the trip is over so the more prepared I can be the better.

Went to the Jenolan caves recently, couldn't believe the detail I was able to extract from this one photo!

hi guys,

I would like to share a dual_iso picture just to show one of the big advantages of using the dual_iso module while having some dr with one shot.

Kitty scratching in HDR! May be plain to some, I loved the final result! ;)

Folks, I am new to magic lantern. Last couple of weeks I have trying dual iso with 5DII and I am soooooooo impressed. :)
I want to thank the awesome people behind the curtain.
I want to share a picture I have taken using dual iso. This is my first post here. Let me see if I can post the pic.



Edit: looks like it didn't work. Another try.

Indeed, sharing a shot here that was also taken with dual ISO - maybe not the best example for a situation that has a lot of dynamic range, but still, the difference was noticeable that day from dual and non-dual iso shots :) Point is, dual iso takes away nothing from shooting moving objects.

The use of dual_iso is questionable for static scenes, as some shots in this thread are - is this explained in the in-camera help lines(s) clearly enough? For a good example look at the cat shot above.

This method is ok if you just want a quick hdr extension, but otherwise you might want to try dual_iso vs. an actual 2x bracketing enfuse/hdr shot with overlap of ~2ev... and I would suppose for "keepers" with details in the shadows and highlights a >2x multiple bracket will be superior hands down if viewed @100% mag.

Negative!

Most all of the original problems with dual_iso are now fixed with the latest cr2hdr.

Bracketing shots will have motion effects on all but the extreme static scenes.  Kill the shutter faster.  Arguably, longer to post process. 

That's 3 issues with bracketing vs dual_iso that I can think of, off the top of my head.  Using ISO to bracket, instead of dual_iso, now that would be silly :P

Of course your evaluation and choice of words is of course up to you, but from my experience I strongly disagree with your assessment, and afaik alex also wrote that dual_iso is for high dr motion. Btw usually you will do shutter bracketing, not iso.

Even ignoring the acr wb problem the loss of fine detail in shadows and highlights is  noticeable, an inherent problem since the dual_iso shots simply only have half of the data. Also with "real" bracketing you have a wide post-processing choice, often exposure fusion is preferable to blending/hdr... not to speak of real detail work with ps layer. I'd advice every aspiring "dual_iso only" user to really try both options and look for the advantages and disadvantages him/herself.

You shared your opinion, I shared mine!

a1ex shared 1 aspect of photography where dual_iso would rain supreme, yes.
As a photographer, you understand the rules of exposure and composition, then you break them.

I use dual_iso, every, single, time, the shadows in my shots are more the -8 EV from saturation.  I don't conform to rules.  I make things work as I need them too  ;)

My tripod prefers to stay at home usually (so hand-held shooting counts as motion too).

Here's a (hopefully unbiased) test to show how much resolution you are losing: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7139.msg99437#msg99437

It became extremely windy, and this was the only place where the sand wasn't going to fly away.

Depends on the hdr software you're using, at least Photomatrix is extremely effective in compensating small frame differences - and all my lenses save one have IS anyway.

I admit I'm often shooting worst-case situations - furry animals with a good lens, so there's a lot of very fine detail esp. in the highlights and this is where I see the resolution loss of dual_iso. Still, better than clipping and no details at all, that's why I'm a big fan of it :-)

IS only helps with spacial motion, not temporal motion.
