| Oct 8, 2013 at 6:11 | comment | added | Nir | @MichaelClark I've edited to answer to indicate I may be wrong about ETTR effecting image quality, I'll try to find more information (and maybe even do some experiments) later | |

| Oct 8, 2013 at 2:02 | comment | added | Michael C | The biggest disadvantage of ETTR in low light is the loner Tv that might mean motion blur caused by camera or subject movement. Sometime you have to underexpose slightly to control the motion and then live with the noise. And there are some excellent tools for dealing with noise in RAW files before converting them to jpeg. | |

| Oct 7, 2013 at 19:49 | comment | added | Nir | @ChinmayKanchi - I'm not sure, I don't remember exactly and can't find the original source, I think it was something about color accuracy or saturation. I personally don't care much about ETTR because I don't like to spend time editing so I didn't really care about the details at the time. | |

| Oct 7, 2013 at 19:13 | comment | added | Chinmay Kanchi | Just curious, what drawbacks does ETTR have? If you're not clipping the highlights, most, if not all the information should still be there in the RAW... | |
