Good start David! Framing is very good.

Carl has pretty much summarised everything.

Recommend you stay with the same exposure, ISO and aperture to start with. Put it all in DSS and DSS will take care of the rest.

Just remember, when DSS finishes, it will look quite dark and appear in greyscale. It isn't, DSS has increased your 14bit (or 12 in some cases) to 16bit and hence it will appear darker but the information is there.

Then you stretch the data. Took me a few mths to understand this concept.

I would also recommend you search around IIS as there are many good examples/guides from those with far more experience than myself.

Good luck and more practise will only improve your skills.

Let us know if you do need a more specific guide on DSS.
