It all makes so much CENTS! The exposure compensation dial has always seemed like a silly, yet ubiquitous dial. Why?? Can't it go away? I used it once 8 years ago. Maarten's going to let me in on why! Your presentation was flawless up until I realized, no, analog cameras also had exposure compensation dials. Then it all unraveled and I realized how brilliant you are Maarten Prior to that my mind was being blown, which was a welcome sensation. Good to know Nasa had a hand in things

If I use gel packs to cool my sensor, how do I set my ice/s/o ? By the way I just heard, not content to just offer film emulations, Fuji's upcoming camera release (Xt-6??) is offering a "styles" module. It will also be downloadable for upgrade back to the XT-4. By styles they mean famous photographers. Include to date (to be announced) are Henri Cartier-Bresson, Steve McCurry, Elliott Erwitt, Yousuf Karsh and Ansel Adams. This is exciting news and I can't wait take my version of "Moonrise, New York, NY"

Hi there! Greetings from the UK. Very interesting information and very happy to have learned a few things surrounding exposure in digital cameras. Astro photographers often modify their cameras to force cooling the sensor ( for ex making holes on the camera body) as the cooler the sensor the less noise it produces. I wonder if these two things are technically related? Thanks for sharing

@EdwardKilner Жыл бұрын

A long time ago, I studied the formulae for currents and voltages in semiconductors. They are all exponential, so not straight lines, which is usually a cause of distortion of the input in the output of analog circuits, of which there are some in digital cameras. Worse, every single one of the formulae are functions of temperature! Not a stable condition in the real world. It’s no wonder we need compensation mechanisms. We should refer to our histogram when we do the adjustment . Nice to see you back.

@MaartenHeilbron Жыл бұрын

That is not true, most if not all small mirrorless cameras overheat, particularly when recording video. For the record, Sony cameras had this issue earlier than others as their video capabilities were more advanced. Sony has addressed this issue with a higher temperature setting and redesign. Most recent Sony models are less likely to overheat that their competitors. At this point, small Fujifilm cameras are the worst culprits.

@Jason-fp7vi Жыл бұрын

You had me for a while with the exposure compensation temperature thing, but I quickly came to realize this was AI generated drivel. In fact exposure compensation is just that, an adjustment of either the shutter speed or aperture setting to under expose or over expose your image. This stuff about a miniature HVAC system is garbage. In fact, your camera is cooled by the speed of the shutter. At higher shutter speeds the woosh of air is funneled to the Sea Moss to regulate its temperature. Haven't you wondered why fast shutter durations "freeze" the action? It's because the sudden torrent of air with a 1/4000th shutter momentarily plunges the Sea Moss below freezing (both freezing in Celsius and freezing in Fahrenheit). The electrons in the Sea Moss momentarily stop and apply for EI benefits because there's no work for an electron during winter. When the Sea Moss thaws the local electron union sends its members back to work, and the image is saved. For crop sensor cameras this is electron brotherhood local #733. Respectfully Maarten, I normally wouldn't disagree with you but this AI generated content has got to stop

I know I'm stupid. (Despite a rather high IQ). But I have a feeling that my inability to understand this video may have something to do with other factors. Such as Gregorian Chant. Well, maybe chant is not the correct term. Perhaps overheating is something you might experience on a hot date? Although at my location it's freezing. My camera never overheats, but sometimes I do.

@MaartenHeilbron Жыл бұрын

So, not stupid. However, I think you may be referring to the Gregorian Chart, an old map held in the archives of the Masonic Order. Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks promise to find it in an upcoming movie. Yes, interesting, often I do overheat before the camera does. Hot date indeed!
