The gain is being increased then underexposed, presumably out of concern that highlights may be clipped. Not trying to start an argument. Comparative examples to support or contest this would be of great interest to me and I think a lot of the group. I assume shooting DNG's? I routinely use 320ISO as a standard and see no practical quality difference over 160 for my type of shooting. I don't routinely use negative compensation and find no clipping problems with any reasonably thoughtful exposure. Expose to the right advocate). Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/e http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/ Maike Harbets speaks on the S2. .... So we will drop down this technology to our other systems. Our priority is to modernise the R system which will be in the end an R10, definitely. -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: [Leica] M8 FW2.0 flash problem? Stan, In menu set the AUTO SLOW SYNC and set the lowest speed you want A to set the shutter speed to. You probably have AUTO SLOW SYNC set to OFF which sets it to 1/250 all the time.
