Mid tones? That's a strange claim, but it doesn't matter what "tones" they are in the image as long as they're a significant presence in the scene so it's easy to identify where they are showing up in the histogram(s). I guarantee you will learn something useful if you follow through on the test and post your results.

do you think you can teach me how to shoot flowers 😂🤣🤣
-
116k .0035 accuracy im happy with that.
-
I suggested blue because of its weighting for the luminance histo and the zebras.
-
Meaning?

Your quote : Or even better, deep blue flowers.
ive never seen a deep blue flower and apparently nether has google.
-
Perhaps, but your skill as a flower photographer isn't the dispute. It's your claim that the A6300's in-camera live histogram is based on the raw data, rather than the RGB/JPEG data, that's being questioned.
-
OK, but I picked red flowers (aside from the accessibility issue) because of the relative difference in WB co-efficients. Blue flowers will have a bigger visible impact on the luminance histogram but won't red flowers have a bigger visible impact on the raw and RGB histograms? Or am I missing something?
-
ive already posted my comparisons. You have a camera do the test yourself, why take my word.
-
-
what difference does it make when there is a scene surrounding the subject. there would be no usefulness of the histogram other than the 2 ends in these situations.
-
i shoot all those they are not deep blue to me. light them with off camera fill flash fire across the surface is the way to pull texture detail from them.
-
One more thing on which we disagree.
-
Ok, I think we've done this to death. I fold and am out of this.

This thread gets better by the hour, by Golly.
I'm all agog waiting for the next announcement.
