For me, I prefer to use low ISO and avoid over exposure. As discussed in
another thread, overexposed image never get perfect recovery, the color
could be wrong. I think you still remember the problem of your stage shots,
the histogram does not work well in all scene, it is just ok for even
illuminated scenes, I prefer to check the highlight warning.
I never had any problem to pull up the underexposed image from E-1, if I
keep using ISO100 even images under two stops are ok.
