TIPS
Important!
If your camera displays a histogram on the LCD, this is
the histogram of the file after it has been processed
in-camera using the camera’s default settings. It is a
histogram of the conversion to JPEG, and not the
histogram of the original RAW file.
Attention!
Most cameras apply a fairly strong S-curve to the raw
data so that the JPEGs you see on the camera’s LCD,
as well as any images you captured as JPEGs, appear
more like traditional film. The on-camera histogram
reflects this strong S-curve and may show blown
highlights when, in fact, the highlights may be within
the tonal range.
