Hi! Great shot if you ask me. Geat sky! I just didn't see the red guy, and I believe cropping him off would result in a cropped boat, too, and that will probably be much worse IMHO. Too bad the two palm trees were not a bit more on the right, say, closer to the right boats instead of the left

The sensor has a native sensitiivity. Software "pushes" the image much as you would in PhotoShop if you accidentally underexposed. That's why it gradually deteriorates as the ISO increases. Paul On Jan 6, 2007, at 3:32 PM, Feroze wrote: > They had K10 review in that issue and stated this: " CC

Yes, it is possible if imaging processor allows this. In firmware v 0.2 it was possible to set iso50 and 3200. I believe for some reasons Pentax has cut these sensitivities in firmware v 1.0 On 06.01.07, at 21:32 , Feroze wrote: > They had K10 review in that issue and stated this: " CCD > s

Something like that indeed. Say the car can do it but obviously the manufacturer thinks the car might not be secure enough, it might decide to artifically limit specifications. IMO (but really only an opinion) DSLRs manufacturers could enable ISO 25000 if they wanted. Of course it'd be meaningless

The CCD has one sensitivity level. In the case of the K10D, that base ISO is 100. Any change from 100 is done in firmware/software through signal and image enhancement (?) or degradation (?). Within a narrow range, the process works well. Not too different from "pushing" film during the develo
