AFAIK, no, it doesn't.daniel_tham57 said:Does DSLR suffer from Reciprocity law failure?
It means that the exposure time is no longer just double for every stop like it is when you use for normal exposures. In film photography, for longer exposures, you will need more than double the exposure time to get a one stop increase in exposure.hazekang said:wat will fail? :dunno:
Unfortunately, no. And the amount to compensate varies from film to film.. That's why it's called a failure. For professional film where it is expected to be used in situation where long exposure might be used, the documentation will talk about this and the amount to compensate for.hazekang said:wow, does the cam metering noe this?

Welcome to Clubsnap.
I have merged your 2 threads of the same title, as we discourage cross posting.
You should only post a topic once in the appropriate sub-forum. Posting the same topic in multiple forums does not help improve the visibility, but creates clutter and scatters the information/discussion.
Thanks!

...and higher noise levels.justarius said:Reciprocity failure is a characteristic of film during super long exposures. DSLR don't use film, so this law wouldn't affect DSLRs. What DSLR will suffer from during super long exposures are hot pixels.
actually it means when the film fail to react to very low light levels, esp with low ASA films.. or in other words, the amount of light present at the moment is not enuff to cause a reaction with the film particles, so more time is needed for the film to be exposed correctly.justarius said:Reciprocity failure is a characteristic of film during super long exposures.

With the detailed description of what the reciprocity law failure is in the posts above, I hope you've caught the fact that DIGITAL CAMERAS do not suffer from this failure.sORe-EyEz said:so diff image sensor got diff value? :dunno:
