p.2 #6 · p.2 #6 · Does anyone know about dynamic range and histograms? | |
I see it's been about a week and a half since the last post here. I checked your profile and see that you're shooting Canon. Here's the deal. The Histogram is one thing and one thing only - it's a graph of the distribution of pixels from dark on the left to light on the right that that particular image contains, as defined by the Picture Style you have loaded at the time of exposure. Where the Histogram is higher, it only means there are more pixels of that value. There's no relation to f/stops. It's all just pixel value from 0 to 255. Nothing more. Your 5D3 has what, about 11-12 stops of dynamic range shooting raw when measuring from a 0,0,0 black to a 255,25,255 pure white. THAT'S what the histogram represents. So it's going to be a different range for every camera that has a different dynamic range, but still from zero to two-fifty-five.
