You had me fooled for a moment!! OH! must be bracketing.. Apaflo is right.... NO... what camera takes 24 seconds to change 3 settings in shooting bracketing???
09:36:49 for first and second is 09:37:13. Please correct me if I am wrong... my Sony is fast as is my Canon SX50

You have to think before saying these things! The OP didn't know he was bracketing shots and could very reasonably have waited not 24 seconds but 24 minutes to take his next shot. He wisely picked this pair of images as an example just because it was the same subject at the same location on consecutive exposures.

He could have turned off the camera and waited until the next day! He would have gotten the very same mysterious results. That pair would not have been the obviius example to post here.

By page 2 the issue was solved. The camera was set to bracket. Not only were you way off, why didn't you read the other posts?


Because people writes too much about something -- poor thing, shooting in bracket! These people doesn't need our help----Thank you for your response.

there is nothing wrong in choosing autoISO as long as you shoot in RAW and you can always correct your ISO in postprocessing like in lightroom

I have a D7100 and never experienced that problem.

They need help, but do we need to type the right answer 25 times?

I think I know what happened. I had D7100 and same thing happened to me. The ISO get bumped up too high and photos are washed out. I think 7200 is good to ISO 800 may 1000 in the dark. You set up max ISO to 600 and take photos on auto ISO. You should be fine.

Unbelievable - why don't you read the other posts before you guess wrong?

Please Apaflo you are coming up with "alternate facts" as Kellyann would say!! Look at my post..Page 4. same day 24 seconds apart..... same day 02/18/2017
What are you missing here???

Auto bracket... hold down shoot and get three. Or you can manually shoot and change speed. In this case the camera mysteriously changed from 1/1000 to 1/250 perhaps based on the fact that the EV was automatically changed from -1 to +1 by adjusting bias setting... the speed followed since as shown on page 4 camera was in manual mode

The OP was helped and I learned something new. I guess that's the way it should be..

One image is +1.0EV and the other is -1.0EV. Did you have the camera set for bracketing??

You can bracket by holding down the shutter for a burst of 3

or you can be set to bracket and have your camera in single shot mode and squeeze out 3 as slow as you like.

http://www.geofflawrence.com/bracketing_exposures.html

Use Bracketing in conjunction with the high speed drive mode.
Whilst 'auto bracketing' remains set (until I cancel it) the camera will cycle through the same three exposure settings so, if my 'drive' is set to single shot, I must remember to take three shots of each scene. However, if I set the 'drive' to 'continuous shooting' mode, it will take three shots (at the different exposures) and stop. This seems a much better way to work, especially on the high speed drive setting, I can take three exposures in rapid succession, so the shots will be almost identical and I don't have to remember how many shots I have taken.

why not try it?

And yet here you are, still posting drivel...

Threads last as long as people are interested, not until you decide they should end, which apparently you haven't or you wouldn't still be here, right?

I learned that ExifTool has more info than the one in my browser, so I'm glad I read past the initial solution, and that Apaflo took the time to post that fact on page 4, well after the initial question was answered.

Heck has been a polite euphemism for the word hell for at least a century. The "vulgarity" you quoted may tell you something about Urban Dictionary, but isn't the meaning of "heck". I agree with you about looking up words; where you look is equally important. 😊

You seem to have a fixed notion that bracketing necessarily shoots the entire sequence. It does not. As noted there can be virtually any time interval between each shot.

Recreating the OP's circumstances, with the exact same results, is easy. Your analysis was faulty to start with and becomes more egregious with each repetition.

I may get some boos from the gallery:

I use manual lenses so I normally shoot Aperture priority. Depending on the light, I preset my ISO accordingly. Low for sunny days, mid for overcast days, high for dark. My camera handles dark with high ISO very well. It also depends if I'm shooting on a tripod or not. I check my shutter speed and adjust accordingly with my exposure compensation. I generally like to shoot at 1/100 sec or higher. That's my goal. I will preset all of my settings before I start shooting. As long as the light is the same, I do not have to worry. I like manual lenses because I set my aperture to f/8 or f/11 which is usually the sharpest. I usually shoot and sell still life's as stock for Adobe Stock so most of my work, I use a tripod and a remote shutter release. Most of my shots are dark with a single source light , usually a candle, so I'm not concerned about shutter speed but for dark shots on a tripod, I use the lowest ISO my camera will go.

I also shoot pound puppies for the PSPCA here in Philly, http://rsmithdigital.com/?p=1888 , using a manual zoom lens (Nikon 35-200mm 1:3.5-4.6). It's a very nice lens for shooting running dogs because the focus ring and zoom ring are the same so i can focus and zoom simultaneously.
