      can I ask a newbie question? Y -1E.V and shoot with such slow shutter speeds? Isn't it the same if you just cranked up the shutter speed slightly, which reduces camera shake?

      at 0EV exposure compensation the shutter speed would have been 1/22 sec! Certainly too short for handholding.
      The only alternative: raise the ISO to 400 or 800. But that would have had a negative impact on image quality.

      Sorry to bug you again, but shouldn't you increase your EV instead of decreasing it to get more light into ur lens?

    4. tombomba2 (41 months ago | reply)

      Right, exactly that would happen, if I set exposure compensation to say +1EV.
      BUT: than the shutter speed would have dropped to 1/11 sec. No way to handhold at that speed.
      If you want more light to hit the sensor and your lens is already wide open (f/1.4) you have to accept longer shutter times.
