Yes, high CRI doesn't mean a colour spectrum that matches daylight.

What are you using?

Helicon - export full res file

I'm trying out Helicon 7.6.1 and uploaded a number of RAW NEF files. I was expecting to be able to pre-process the RAWS in Adobe Camera Raw before doing a render but this wasn't an option. I then exported a DNG but this was much smaller than than my original 7360 x 4912. The only option I can see to...

The camera is also connected to my laptop via the USB3 port to my laptop with qDSLR Dashboard so that I can record the images to a portable disk connected to the laptop. The problem I have is that I cannot trigger the camer...

Nikon Z6 with and without FTZ adapter

What will be the consequence of using a Nikon Z6 with a Z fit reversing ring when mounted on a microscope or tubes as opposed to using the FTZ adapter and a BR2a reversing ring?

I suppose the option without the adapter will give a wider field of view?

Hi Pau

I am using the same one as yours but I bought it a couple of years ago and was wondering if there had been any advances.

Rail alignment

I wish to align my rail as best I can. I was wondering whether Zerene could be used to calculate the offset misalignment by taking an image and then moving the camera and taking another image.
