Somehow I missed the memo on this. What is highlight recovery mode?
He might be talking about HTP, but if you shoot raw that is the same as just underexposing by 1 stop.
I often underexpose (with iso, everything else is pushed) with the d800 since the files are so easy to push, but I am less likely to do so with a D3/D700.
I never used to do it when I shot canon.
Yeah sorry--Highlight Tone Priority... I\'m not actually sure what it does technically. I just know when I pull back highlights on my raw file i have a LOT more information to work with. I don\'t think it\'s the same as underexposing by one shot or what affect it has on RAW files (i only shoot raw, and I expose correctly or push to the right).
Yea, it simply records the raw file 1 stop under marked iso and then puts some meta data in the raw file telling the converter to push the file 1 stop using an altered tone curve (not sure if LR handles the meta data correctly).
ISO 200 is really iso 100 pushed 1 stop.
ETTR when in HTP is almost ETTM (expose to the middle)
