Estimate the dynamic range in stops from highlight and shadow limits, and check whether the scene fits the sensor's latitude.
单位为曝光档(stops)。
| Item | Formula / Rule | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic range | DR = 20 × log10(full-well electrons ÷ read noise) in decibels | EMVA 1288 Standard for Characterization of Image Sensors |
| Stop conversion | Stops = DR in dB ÷ 6.02, since one EV equals about 6.02 dB | ISO 15739:2017 Photography — Noise measurements |
| Measurement basis | Vendors quote JPEG-acceptable range, while measured RAW often delivers one to two stops more | ISO 15739:2017 Photography — Noise measurements |
