Re: K10D v Lightroom exposure and histograms

Based on observation only, the K20 metering appears to be more accurate for RAW exposures than is that of the K10. I frequently find that exposures require no adjustment in white point of black point. I look at different values anyway but sometimes return to right at default for exposure br

interesting stuff! Why can't Pentax just make the firmware change this automtically? I hope to do some more testing this weekend. Cheers Lee -- >Message: 10 >Date: Thu, 01 May 2008 10:30:18 -0700 >From: Godfrey DiGiorgi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >

Re: K10D v Lightroom exposure and histograms

BTW: I use the Lightroom preference to treat JPEG files with the same name as a RAW file, on import, as a duplicate sidecar. That way I only get RAW files imported, or JPEG files if no RAW file exists. Godfrey On Apr 30, 2008, at 8:07 PM, Stan Halpin wrote: > To amplify just a bit on Godder

Re: K10D v Lightroom exposure and histograms

The Pentax DSLR cameras' metering systems are calibrated to produce accurate exposure estimation for their *default* configuration ... JPEG capture (and in the case of the *ist DS, BRIGHT color rendering). They don't recalibrate for RAW exposure, where accurate exposure estimation should be

Re: K10D v Lightroom exposure and histograms

Thus wrote Godders on Nov 14: "I set the camera to natural color, minimize contrast and sharpening, leave saturation alone, set the JPEG size to minimum and compression to maximum. That returns histograms which reflect something similar to what I see in Lightroom's histogram display." He's

Re: K10D v Lightroom exposure and histograms

That's interesting. I wonder if it's a Lightroom quirk or a K10D quirk. I would compare the LR histogram to the Pentax software histogram, but alas I lost the CD. Rick --- Stan Halpin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > To amplify just a bit on Godder's reply... > > If you shoot a few frames as RAW+

Re: K10D v Lightroom exposure and histograms

To amplify just a bit on Godder's reply... If you shoot a few frames as RAW+JPEG and then import them into LR, it is easy to see at a glance which are the JPEG (lighter) and which are the RAW (darker). I was reminded of this last night while scrolling through way too many thumbnails to try a

Thanks, Godfrey. I expected (and was hoping) as much. I remain delighted with the camera, after a year and 5200 exposures. Rick --- Godfrey DiGiorgi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It's typical. > > The histogram on the camera is one rough > approximation of the data > shape driven by the prev

Re: K10D v Lightroom exposure and histograms

It's typical. The histogram on the camera is one rough approximation of the data shape driven by the preview JPEG, the histogram in Lightroom is its interpretation of the RAW data itself. There are no standards that either can be judged by. I've learned how to interpret the histogram functi

K10D v Lightroom exposure and histograms

=Why= am I asking this question, just four days from my K10D's first birthday and the expiry of its warranty? Anyway... I've been looking at the histogram on the camera more lately, and noticed that it usually does not correspond to the histogram in Lightroom. So, I set the camera according to G
