yes this is the hole think, but what this is exacly means ?
can you give me a very simple rule to follow and get the corect explose ?
> Because you rarely need exposure compensation greater than +/- 2 stops
I don't think so :) this is not the reason.
Well you say that 2 2/3 stops is the difference between 18% and 100%
And what is the difference in stops between 18% and 0% ?
And if you add all that together ? what you get ?
maybe 5 stops ? maybe a range betwenn +2 0 -2 ???
And why 5 stops ? the difference between 0% and 100%
and not 10 stops ?
>From what is depent the maximum stops ?
Ok maybe I make some questions and I know that questions is like the attact.
It's like an attact because I ask to get somthing....
but the truth is that I am make the questions to help me and you to....
