So we are starting with 4096 then first stop will take 1/2 of that we remain with 2048 sot the 2nd stop will take 1/2 of that too so 1024 etc... so if we had taken in the example a 6 stops dynamic range, then the 6stop would have 64 (1/2 of the remaining 128) I hope it does explain a little bit Well let me try to put it in other terms, the idea is that each stop will simply capt 1/2 of the available data.

Am I missing something? Thanks, JD You say:
“* The 1st stop will hold 1/2 of that i.e. 2048 - yes 1/2 the data recorded is in the highest stop
* The 2nd stop will hold 1024
* The 3rd stop will hold 512
* The 4th stop will hold 256
* The 5th stop will hold 128″

That doesn’t add up to the total. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
