I have seven NP-400-type batteries for two Dynax 7D bodies, and I feel that's about the right number to have---i. e. three or four per camera body. Two of them are genuine Konica-Minolta NP-400, the others are 3rd-party replacements of three different brands. When I bought the replacement batteries,...

The most reliable connector alignment is the Sony AD-MSCF1 Memory Stick Duo adaptor to CF slot, because it's as fat as a Microdrive, and can not be inserted the wrong way or jammed in as a result. [...] and within a day one of the staff had bent a CF pin in the camera - £126 to repair. Card inserte...

Re: HDR versus DRI---wide range versus compressed range

But you say no [...] digital camera is capable of 32-bit imaging. Not with a single shot. But with several, differently exposed shots of the same subject you can capture as many bits of dynamic range as you want. How then can one produce what you call a true 32-bit HDR from a camera that produces o...

HDR versus DRI---wide range versus compressed range

... you seem to say that it is not possible to produce an HDR image from any DSLR output, regardless of software, even if multiple exposures are taken? No, that's not what I am saying. Olaf is talking about the proprietary Photoshop 32-bit High Dynamic Range image format ... Umm ... yes and no. I a...

... it was a rather hasty effort, using only three 'exposures', just to prove that CS2 can do HDR from a single raw. Actually, it cannot. All you have proven is that Photoshop CS2's HDR feature can be misused to create DRI images when tinkering with the EXIF data. You mustn't confuse HDR and DRI. H...

HDR versus DRI

Photoshop's HDR feature intentionally doesn't work with two different derivatives from the same raw file. It does say so somewhere in the manual or the help files. Still you can create dynamic-range-increased (DRI) images in Photoshop from two conversions from the same raw file---just don't try usin...
