Thank you. One thing im not sure I understand is: Why doesnt a camera use a raw file for the histogram? why cant it use it? Also, im using a software that only exports to png... is this comparable to a raw?

Super informative video. I know most professionals shot in raw. I shot professionally for 30 years, the last 4 in digital. I exposed my digital images the same way I exposed film and always shot in Jpeg only. Much less time with post, and in the thousands of images, never had an exposure issue because I came from a film background and understood how to expose and understood lighting.

Yeah I see this a lot where people will say that a histogram that's shape like a symmetrical mountain (or mound, or bell) is the "ideal" histogram. I think the biggest key points I've found is don't clip the highlights (so no spikes on the right) and don't clip the blacks/shadows (so no spiles on the left either). One needs to take into consideration (and think about) what they're shooting. For example, if you're shooting snow, you're histogram is likely to be more biased to the right due to the whites and highlights in the image. This doesn't mean the exposure is bad, it just means theres more bright / highlight areas than dark areas for example. I'd say if you're still new to the idea of the histogram, then if all else fails turn on the "blinkies" or highlight warning. I keep mine on anyway (even though I'm experience I just like to have that extra insurance that I can quickly look at a preview and see if something might be blown out or not and not have to look at the histogram so much and trying to figure it out--even though I can interpret the histogram--it's just faster in some cases to use highlight warnings).

T-stops (or transmission) is one thing that I think many people aren't aware of forget when shooting. I know I have. And for example, I had a lens that would consistently under expose even though the camera said that the exposure was correct for the metering mode and scene, but I later realized that I usually had to purposely overexpose by about 1/3 of a stop to get an actaul "proper" exposure as to what I saw with my eyes versus what the camera said was a correct exposure. And to find this, it takes time to learn your lens and realize if you have to make minor adjustments (when shooting) to compensate for light transmission loss (which I think is more common the longer the focal length).

Does it make any difference in the quality of the histogram if the jpeg is small or large? It seems like the more pixels, the better representation one would get in the histogram.

The fuss about the histogram showing the JPG preview histo is a bit overblown as one can see this as a safety feature. The bottom line is that if the relevant tones are inside the limits you can adjust in post as needed. If you are a JPG shooter then the auto exposure is most likely pretty good anyway. If you really want to get fussy, learn to meter.

Wow! You and Tony Northrup are saying the complete opposite about whether it's better to overexpose vs underexpose for post processing adjustments. Tony is saying the highlight section of the Histogram is cleaner and therefore can be easily adjusted down. you are saying its better to underexpose because there's more data to work with.

I’m not sure if other people do this, but regardless of the scene that I’m taking, I first take a picture of my 18% grey card (making sure it fills up the entire frame). I then look at the histogram to make sure that it is in the middle. This tells me that I have the exposure set fairly correctly. What do you guys think?

Matt if you are doing a wedding, groom in black, bride in white on a sunny day, to shoot raw is more dangerous than jpeg as there is no histogram in raw as you say!
What would you do?
Personally I would shoot in jpeg just to be sure of not bleaching out the dress and keeping detail in the black suit.
