Color temp. & correction in ACR vs. IDC

Does anyone know how numbers for the color temperature and color compensation are related in ACR and IDC? When I open ARW file taken with Auto WB in ACR I can read the color temperature and color compensation numbers in the corresponding fields but if I open the same file in IDC the program only say...

Re: A900 SAL 70-300mm G strong backlight

Unless you are willing to wait for the 70-400mm G and spend the money! I was not saying the 70-300mm SSM G is bad - just that the 70-400mm SSM G seems to be much better, in a different class of lens entirely. David Sure it should be better considering its price tag - almost twice as expensive compa...

Re: A900 DRO ???

[quote="Sonolta"] I have already proved the similarity of the raw and jpg HI200 files as compared to the ISO 200 files. No! You haven't! They are as different as they should under condition that the ISO 200 is ISO 200 exposed 'correctly' by the camera judgment and HI200 is ISO 125 underexp...

Re: A900 DRO ???

You CAN NOT set ISO 125 it is IMPOSSIBLE! That is why Zone matching is so great! I know that I cannot. But you can easily set the camera ISO to 100 and set -2/3 compensation and get almost the same .MRW file. But in this case (we are talking about regular ISO setting, no HI or LO) you'll get undere...

Re: A900 DRO ???

If you download all four of the files and tweak them for highlight recovery and/or optimum IQ it will become quite clear to everyone that ZONE MATCHING is indeed working terrifically on both JPG and MRW files. You will find that both of the ISO200 samples (JPG and Raw) are blown to bits and they ar...

Difference between RAW and cRAW?

What is the difference between RAW and cRAW other than size? Is there any quality downgrade in cRAW compared to RAW? What are the benefits of shooting RAW if the answer for the previous question is 'No'? Writing (processing) speed? A bit off-topic: As someone had already noticed in another thread I ...

Re: A900 ISO 3200 'D7D' style

I'll admit that we also wanted to keep the original as a pioneering museum piece. But it's still my studio camera and the colour rendering has never been equalled. David, are you saying that 7D's color rendering is even better than A700/A900? :shock: It makes me wonder if I need to sell my 7D... :r...

Re: Does A700 with v4 use less power?

The second problem is that even if the LCD goes off and 1 minute later the camera does go to sleep it is too easy for it to awaken. In order to awaken the eye sensor must detect something and the grip sensor needs to be touched. I walk around and carry my camera a lot for hours at a time (I do fore...
