>>4355809>marketing tells you that, and you repeat that, but there's no real exampleI just make an example in my post.
>noise is the practical limit above ISO100I'll give you another example, hopefully clearer.
Imagine you're shooting an event that partly happens inside and partly happens outside.
You don't have any control over where people will choose to stand as you try to unobtrusively take pictures of the event.
At one point you want to take a picture of something happening inside, but then you hear a noise outside, get out, find that someone's just popped a champagne bottle open and someone else is about to do the same.
You point the camera towards them, but a reflection coming from the bottle makes the scene look a lot brighter than it is, the ISO setting remains low and you get a dark picture.
Or, the person's dressed in black but is standing in front of a nice summer evening sky, the ISO goes up and you get clipped highlights fucking up the sky.
In both of those situations a wider exposure latitude helps saving more usable details from your pictures.
>>4355852>this is what exposure compensation is for>or you could use spot metering and AELWhen I wrote I sometimes have no time to fiddle with the control I didn't mean I don't have the 10 seconds required to set aperture, time and ISO, take a test shot, adjust everything to make sure it's perfect and then shoot again, I meant I don't have the second and a half to have a look at the meter, rotate a dial to bring down the ISO until the meter's in the center and then shoot.
Also, this has the same issue as relying on auto ISO because I'd have to trust the exposure meter and take a test shot to check whether the exposure was indeed right.
I'm not saying I don't ever have the time to do it, I often do, but in those situations where I don't it might be important that I don't miss the shot, and a higher DR makes it less likely to miss.
