What and How to Shoot
Shoot raw photos in manual (M) mode. If your camera has several raw modes, use the full one, uncropped, lossless compression if possible.
Each photo must be completely overexposed all across the frame. As such, it does not matter what you shoot since everything will be white anyway, but its easiest to achieve this while pointing the camera at the sky or at a white light bulb. It does not matter whether the sky is sunny or overcast, but donāt point it at the sun as you might damage the sensor.
It does not matter what lens you use, but it will be easier to make the whole image overexposed if you do not use a wide angle lens.
Needed Photo Sets
We have broken down the image requirements into three sets, where each subsequent set would improve the quality of support, but would also require more effort from you and from us. In most cases, you only need to photograph the first two sets.
The sets:
- If your camera has LENR, turn it OFF. Set the aperture to f/5.6 or higher. Take a series of photos, one photo for every ISO value your camera supports, making sure not to exceed an exposure time of 1 second. As an example, you could end up with about 8 photos for ISO 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400 and 12800. Most cameras include intermediate ISO values, e.g. ISO160 or ISO320, so if you wanted to improve white level accuracy you would need to photograph these intermediate values as well.
- If your camera has LENR, turn it ON. Take a second series of photos, as described above but this time making sure that the exposure time in all cases is at least 2 seconds, not less. Thatās another 8 or more photos. In most cases these two sets should be enough.
- Some cameras scale raw values for larger apertures, particularly Canon and Nikon models. The only way to know whether your camera does this for sure is to take a photo and measure it. Take one photo using your lensās widest aperture, e.g. f/1.7, at ISO100 with LENR turned OFF, and send it to us along with the rest of the shots. If we detect that there is raw scaling (or if you detect it yourself if you do your own measurements) then we will ask you shoot a series of photos using an exposure time of less than 1 second, from the widest aperture your lens supports down every 1/3 of a stop until such an aperture where raw scaling is no longer performed. This could mean many photos. Handling raw scaling caused by large apertures is not very important so donāt feel daunted by it, you donāt need to do it even if your camera does do raw scaling, but if you have the time and bandwidth then it would be better to check for it.
At the very least, you should end up with a series of about 8 photos from point 1. It is recommended that you take photos for both points 1 and 2, leading to 16 or more photos, plus the one raw scaling test photo from point 3. If it is found that your camera performs raw scaling, you could additionally take the needed series described in point 3, but since this could potentially mean many photos (over 50) it is not expected.
Compress all these photos, upload them to filebin.net and send us the full link either through our GitHub page or in the Forum.
Completely clipped photos can have amazing compression, donāt forget to compress them (7-
Zip, ZIP, bzip2, whatever) before uploading! As an example, 10 completely clipped Sony 7M2 raw files with LENR disabled weigh 234MB but if you ZIP them you get a 1MB file.
that what i ve do, and raw file on the RICOH GR3 are .DNG files
