Left / right: decrease/increase Aperture, Shutter-Speed, ISO, SLV - Numbers.
– / +
: Decrease / Increase - Amount of Light on sensor or Image Brightness.
Calc(ulate): Aperture, ShutterSpeed, ISO, SLV from the 3 other Values.
3 Ev Steps: 1, 1/3, 1/6 - 12 Scenes: Light Value –6 Ev to 16 Ev.
For 1/2 Ev increment, Set 3/6 Ev Equivalent increment.
From " Precise-Values " to " Nominal-Settings ".
= Numbers inside vs ones on the camera.

Short / Long-Exposure Computed examples

Samsung NX-mini has Class-Leading specs for Astro- or IR-photography.
4 minutes Exposure at f/5 works perfectly at a Noiseless ISO 400 setting.
Resolution of 20+ Mega-Pixel + Green Peak Quantum Efficiency of 84%.
Its Price is $100euro or even less and its IR-cut Filter is Easy to Remove.
Dxo=85 (CanG7x+SonyRx10²)/2 +2/3Ev w/o IRcut =135 rounded to 141.

Nikon D600, D610, D750 are very Good Tools for Astro-Photography too,
their imx128 Sony Exmor sensor is at its Best from ISO 100 up to ISO 400.

the Pentax K-5 works in a totally opposite way than the Eos 20d and Eos 5d.
Long Exposures at base ISO-80 are 100% NoiseFree. Not even Amp-Glow.

tests said my 2004 Eos 20d is ~1/3Ev less than 1600 sensitive: ISO-1270.
my 2006 Eos-5d is same ~1/3Ev below 1600, so I kept this real ISO-1270.
