Changing Exposure Value (EV)

[1CM69]

Hi,

is there a way to change EV from within BYEOS?

Thanks

No, not currently.  Perhaps you can tell us why you need it.

Currently I am working at nailing down my calibration files capturing & have found that while getting Flats I get the best result boosting EV to +2. 

Pretty simple to change on camera, just thought I may have missed an option in BYEOS allowing me to change it remotely. 

Thanks

Flats exposures are not that critical as long as the histogram peak is near the center, how are they better when you boost the EV?

If you generate your Flats as "TV-Flats", the Camera performs the Exposure evaluation. 

I, too, found that my TV-Flats worked much better with an EV+2 setting (I was using an Electro-Luminescent Panel).

I am still working on this & I too am using a light panel and finding that the green peak is disappearing off to the right producing a Bi-Modal (two humped) histogram.
