Hi everyone, I hope you are all OK.
I have a question in regards to the wording on Nikon's website for the D500, which states the AF works in near darkness, down to -4EV.
I am a beginner still, but this has me confused.
I have used exposure compensation in AP and SP mode when I have needed to expose the main subject correctly, as the camera may choose a setting that is much too dark, or the opposite.
I thought that say +1EV compensation would be a extra stop brighter, -2 2 stops under and so on.
So, with the mention of autofocus working in near dark conditions at -4EV, exactly WHAT is this being measured from? How dark exactly is -4EV, or does it simply mean that the AF still works if I set the camera to -4EV?
Thank you all for your help and advice so far, Conan.
