Captured image histogram
Confidence that a capture has been made of maximal quality is often hard to come by. A key factor is a quality histogram or the taken shot.
- HIGH ON THE LIST: true raw histogram, critical for assessing actual raw capture dynamic range remaining (or blowout) independent of color space and JPEG processing settings.
- Histogram should be large size for seeing small issues.
- Must support wide gamut color space for RGB histogram (AdobeRGB does not qualify).
- Zooming in with RGB histogram should show histogram for zoomed area only (critical to not blowing out small but important areas)
- Auditory feedback varying in some manner to indicate blowout or pinning blacks.
| Sony | Nikon | Fujifilm | Canon | Panasonic | Leica |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| histogram too small for accurate evaluation, no zoom histogram | best of breed but lacks true raw histogram | no zoom histogram | no zoom histogram | no zoom histogram | TBD |
| All brands lack a true raw histogram, all lack auditory feedback, all lack wide gamut support. | |||||
