That's right.
>>216314thank you, i try to award those with brief but correct answers, and so, heres your 1x free internet.http://www.simonpanrucker.com/beans.html
One other one: large apertures without overexposure if your shutter won't go fast enough.
>>216359that goes hand in hand with the other thing.
>>216360Not really. OP asked if it was for anything besides LONG EXPOSURE, and it was.
>>216418But OP isn't an idiot (you're not, are you Burt?)It's exposure compensation either way to make the required shutter speed longer.
