RAW16 or RAW16(LX)

#1

Post by Carlesa25 »

Hello: What difference or advantage there is between using RAW 16 and RAW 16 (LX).
I am using RAW16 (LX) for testing my iNOVA NBB-CX camera color and refrigerated in long exposure (LX) ... is it correct? Thank you.

Hi,

the 'LX' modes set the camera into 'low frame speed' mode rather than 'high frame speed' which may (I'm not saying will...) make the camera better/more stable/less noisy for longer exposures. Definitely the right choice for exposures of more than 1s.

cheers,

Robin

Hi: Thanks, I see that I've been successful using the RAW (LX) option for long exposures. Greetings.
