CX2 DR Mode

Well, one of the features I definitely wanted to try with my CX2 was the DR mode, e.g. to find out if it is useful or not.
So I tried it the first evening in Rome. It's sunset at Santa Maria in Cosmedin, the church with the famous Bocca della Verità (mouth of truth).



I like the motion-blur very much, but find it difficult to hold (during sunset or later) the camera steady during the second (normal) pic, because you don't know exaclty when it will be made.

Part III. Still Rome, still late afternoon (but perhaps another day :D ) and still the same technique.

Hadrian's temple


Piazza della Pietra (with Hadrian's temple on the left)

Patta,

Great set of photo's, I use DR mode frequently on my CX1, mainly on landscapes.

What setting [weak/strong] do you find best to use?

Well, haven't tried much yet. The very first examples I tried both settings but weak was too weak for me.
