Come again? ETTR actually endangers highlights. It's the shadows that ETTR is supposed to help with. I sometimes ETTL to avoid clipping highlights and so preserve them--the exact opposite direction. > ... and then process for the > final image in post processing.

Unless you are really pushing the limits. I never bother thinking about ETTR at all, ever. I just adjust the exposure in post if I see fit. > Unfortunately, Pentax refuses to believe that people actually use their > cameras as anything but large, expensive point and shoots, and don't give > you a choice for what style of metering you want to optimize for. Really, Larry. Do any of Nikon, Canon, Sony et al do better in this regard?
