Just thinking, is it better to overexpose a pic or underexpose it if you have only one chance to take it in manual mode? which of these can be better saved thru pp after the shot?
If I only have One Chance, I will nail the exposure.Just thinking, is it better to overexpose a pic or underexpose it if you have only one chance to take it in manual mode? which of these can be better saved thru pp after the shot?

I don't understand, if TS knew shot at this setting is underexposed, and shot at that setting is overexposed, why do shoot shoot right on the dot in the first place?can cheat using autobracket :bsmilie:

Unless the original question is, "which is easier to salvage? Underexposed or overexposed?"
anyway, whatever way it is, exposure out by more the 2/3 stop is undesirable.
Follow the theory of cooking steak, under still can be salvaged by outting it back on the pan again, Over means you get a burnt piece of meat :bsmilie:
So its better to nail it at once.
for film, if it is negative, the exposure latitude is larger, most people will overexposed it (about one full stop) for more saturated color and better shadow details.if you are shooting film, then it is better to over-expose by say 0.5 stop. It is easier to BURN later in the darkroom. Shooting under will cause the shot to be grainy.
If you are shooting digital , then it is safer to under-expose by say 0.5 stop, because once the sensor register a bright patch, then even by moving the slider to darker region during post processing, the patch will still be a blank patch.
