I have read and heard varying impressions regarding the “Image Simulation” feature on mirrorless cameras. As I still have several rolls of developed slide film from the pre-digital era, I note that almost all frames were correctly exposed. Back then we took extra care to ensure that exposure would really be correct. The costs of film and its development (and the risk of running out of it during a session) called for extreme care. Grey cards and light meters were extensively used to complement camera exposure systems, (not always trusted!). In the digital cameras’ era, we often shoot multiple times until our display screen shows a satisfactory exposure. We practically have “unlearned” to set correct exposures, as the camera processor does most of this task, often incorrectly! Now with “Image Simulation” becoming a standard feature on mirrorless cameras, how many photographers will be mindful of exposure settings anymore?
