How to get the best raw exposure, part 2

I used the default settings:

Thanks. That's useful to know.

What are you waffling on about?

You plagiarise someone else's work, fake your images and you have altered some of my posts in your quotes of them.

No wonder no-one takes you seriously.

You have only yourself to blame.

This is the discovery, your histogram is RGB mine are not using live histogram. has your camera just luminosity live histogram ? and if it does ,does it match the rgb ?

If you cant be part of a sensible conversation with members please dont post childish comments it only ruins the vibe for everyone else.
its why we need a threaded view, so we dont have to read your drivel.

The X2D doesn't have a live histogram. It computes the review histogram from the JPEG preview image, just like the Sony cameras do for live histo and review histo.

By the way, this is a serous omission which I hope will soon be fixed. The GFX 100S has a live RGB histogram.

And yet you can't post anything that proves what I posted about you is not true 😄

Maybe he should get some lessons from his daughter or get her to proof read his posts or better yet, write them for him.

see, viewing my jpegs in FRV they are clipped quite a bit. but on the camera they show no clipping at all. so i disagree that sony cameras are using the jpeg for the histogram and zebras. but the funny thing is the blinkies do clip reviewing on the camera but the RGB histogram is not.

Jpeg or raw or other used for Histogram
lets also be realistic here. i had to use a jewelers loupe to see the end of the histogram then and shot the image with a macro lens.
please click on the camera histogram to get an idea how fine the scale is.

Clear clipping here.

In Y, G, and B.

oh no its not Jim look at the image at 100% 😁

look at the image at 100%

Clipping.
Don't you see the difference between red (no clipping) and Y, G, and B curves?

The G and B channels touch the right edge - that means clipping (after applying WB obviously). There would have been to clipping had there been no touching, as in the R channel.

I think my next Lensrentals article will be about how to read histograms.
