Not in my experience. When you try and pull back nikon highlights you get strange lines around the images that you don't get with Canon.
Plus Nikon has a slight bias towards the darks. It's not a lot, but it's there.
ETTR only works if you're still within the highlights range. IF you go beyond it, you'll mess up the edges of your overblown images.
ETTR is good exposure. By it's own definition. It is the best possible exposure you can give a digital sensor. Pushing your highlights to the very edge (without going over).Stealthy Ninja wrote: Yeh but you can go beyond what the histogram says and pull it back, that's what's gonna happen when you ETTR. Because you're going higher than the histograms max. Or else it's not ETTR it's just good exposure.
With Nikon it's easier to go beyond the DR of the camera.
And no, it isn't about bringing the highlights down in post. It's about maximizing data on the memory card.
I think you've read some bad ETTR sites. There really is a lot of bad info out there. Be careful what you read. It isn't all true.

mode, because you called me a "spammer".I'm the sensitive "artist" type.

I know what it is. It's going way beyond the edge of the histogram where you can't tell what's going on, so the highlights get blown all the time and when you try to recover you get weird lines around the images on Nikon.
Something to help the n00bs.
That's all. I wasn't attempting a "spam".
