How to get the best raw exposure, part 2

I see. You have a situation where you know the light will not be so bright to cause clipping at ISO 800.
I just realized that the exposure indicator has correct metering feedback even when the exposure simulation is turned off. So that can be used to catch situations where clipping could occur at ISO 800.

BTW, Canon R5 has some read noise weirdness between ISO 800 and ISO 1600 and the most invariant range starts at ISO 1600 (link). It probably does not matter in practice.

People have you just ignore them

No the camera just recorded what was there for that given light

Maybe you should think about what this means, maybe just maybe that is what the camera recorded in the raw file

When you know how your camera records data it can be easily done on the fly

If I ever have issues getting the best out of raw, I'll be sure to let you know.

i dont need to know how my camera records data. i need to get the shot i intended in the time frame i have on a shoot, do you need to know what cylinder pressure is in your car before changing gears 🤨

No but knowing the best RPM to shift your car at can win you the race, loose the race or loose the race and destroy your engine

Mr neither- like, who cares ...

So we're up to 450 posts (combined) of back and forth on the best way to shoot raw files.
Little wonder I leave it up to the camera most of the time 🤣🤣

OK, let's take an even closer look:

The clipped pixels are actually represented even in the linear version of the RawDigger histogram. They're just hard to see. So what? Just because they're hard to see in a low resolution histogram doesn't change the fact that there are, indeed, clipped green pixels in the raw image. Nor does it change the mischaracterization in your article where you state, "It looks like there is clipping, but there is not." My recommendation is that you correct that at least, even if you don't want to dive into a discussion of how near-specular and specular highlights need to be factored into interpretation of in-camera histograms/blinkies when ETTR'ing.

If you leave all the decision making to the camera at best you should get a nice looking sooc jpeg.

If you want to maximise the quality of the raw data then you will need to make some decisions for yourself as described earlier.

I think they got Grammar and gamma mixed up along the way 🤣😂😎😵‍💫

I will change the wording.

I feel sorry for non sony users this is from my a6300 6 years old
you can also sett zebras to 109+range
and for the record the histogram is aligned with the raw file not jpeg as everyone seems to think.

live histogram

Jpeg file.

Yeah. I choose a fairly neutral picture style such as natural or standard, set blinkies/zebras at 105%, turn on iDynamic which gives a better than fair preview of what the converted raw will look like, without falling to bits, and fire away. If the dynamic range is way outside a single frame, I'll shoot a 3 or 5 frame bracket, and merge in post. The majority of the time I use the camera JPEGs with a little bit of an edit.

I have no reason to believe any of that is even close to true because I haven't the raw files.

make your own. i have no reason to believe you can.

I don’t need to make any.
