Re: histogram question

Hello Lea,

>check the histogram after a shot to make sure you don't blow 
>the highlights...what adjustment do I make if I did blow them? 

Lessen the exposure with the "exposure compensation" control.  Most
cameras allow 1/3 stop increments, up to +/- 2 stops.  On my camera,
if it's on aperture priority it will change the shutter speed, and if
it's on shutter priority it will change the aperture.  If it's on
Program it could do either or both.

BTW, this is an Off Topic subject for this forum, but as long as this
thread doesn't get strung out real long the occasional OT question is
ok.  Got any questions about BW printing? <g>


Regards,
Clayton
