Chris,
You have started me to thinking about some observations I have made in the
past few weeks. I am on the LUG, and most of the M8 users recommend setting
the exposure to -.33 or -.50 to get the proper histogram. I shoot an E-510,
and, from my observations, it needs to be set exactly opposite to that. In
experimenting with exposures as shown on the camera screen, +.50 looks best
to me. For post-processing, I use the RAW converter that is included in
Elements 6.0. When I adjust the exposure to give me the best histogram in
the RAW converter, I usually end up adding about .50.
Am I imagining this, or is there a reason that the M8 and the E-510 require
opposite adjustments?
