Gio J Cappadano Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 If you keep the camera at a 320 and set your meter to a 250 overexposing a 1/3 like most do with film stocks can you run the risk of clipping your hightlights? I read on reduser a lot of people going back and forth some saying they set their meter to a 250 others a 160. So I assume its ok esp. since you have all the onboard tools to make sure you don't clip. Also even though its digital I don't think 1/3 would be very major. But just asking.

Ryan Thomas Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I would think as long as you keep an eye on your histogram and make sure none of the channels clip, you should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member John Sprung Posted October 15, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted October 15, 2009 Exactly right. The Red is its own best light meter. -- J.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris layhe Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I live by that histogram! Best exposure meter on there! Just out of curiositly, which histogram does everyone usually use? I find the RGB histogram to be quite useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
