| Reducing EV in the Coolpix 5000 versus decreasing contrast and saturation (and increasing EV). | |
 |
1. |
| No compensation | |
 |
2. EV: -0.3 CONTRAST: 0 SATURATION: 0 |
| Underexposing by -0.3 EV reduces dynamic range slightly | |
 |
3. EV: 0 EV CONTRAST: -1 SATURATION: -1 |
|
Reducing in camera Contrast and Saturation sharply reduces the dynamic range !!! |
|
 |
4. EV: +0.3 CONTRAST: -1 SATURATION: -1 |
| Increasing by +0.3EV will increase the dynamic range. | |
 |
5. EV: +0.7 CONTRAST: -1 SATURATION: -1 |
| Increasing the EV with +0.7 EV will make the dynamic range similar to case 2. but the histogram is still poorer. | |
