Just don't clip any information. Wtf is the point of a perfect histogram?
>>
>>3090577
it´s a homework
>>
>>3090577
how?
>>
>>3090577
This is right. Even if your shots are biased to onside for whatever reason your RAW values are adjustable.

Artistically histogram readings are all subjective, as in shooting high or low key. Using your picture as a standard, shooting in white snow (all white), +2 might be acceptable (speaking very loosely) since a histogram ties to how much data there is for one value.
>>
I kinda like the +1, I'm always overexposing my pictures, especially on film.
>>
This is how you make photography not fun.
>>
>>3090575
set on A mode with no exposure compensation

is it possible to do it with shutter at 50?
>>
>>3090617
you sound noob as fuck, tell us what you want to achieve with 1/50, its not making much sense.
>>
>>3090621
i'm noob as fuck sadly
homework is
>three videos
>black and white
>good grayscale balance

thing is i can't move the shutter of 1/50 because reasons.
>>
>>3090617
What are you even talking about? ISO 50? 1/50?
>>
>>3090624
you should be ok with base iso (iso 100) and then regulating the aperture until histogram looks well balanced.
>>
>>3090624
>>3090628
this is asumming youll be doing daylight footage. set your camera at low contrast too, so your grayscale looks nice and smooth.
>>
>>3090627
i know im an idiot but im still learning (this whole thing is new to me)

>>3090628
>>3090632
which one is the contrast?
>>
>>3090638
read the fucking manual. good bye bro.
>>
>>3090639
i meant in the histogram, sorry
>>
>>3090640
You should probably learn to read the information in a histogram. And also you should try to take good pictures instead, unless you're planning to print out and frame the histogram.
>>
>>3090644
i'll try to take video and such
thanks
>>
>>3090575
Why would you even bother? Histogram's perfection doesn't correlate with your tastes and wishes about the image
Use Adams' zone system and a proper spot meter or go evf if you shoot digital
>>
>>3090655
>>3090575
Sorry, i didn't read the thread. Firstly read your camera's manual, learn about exposure settings and then learn about reading histograms
Asking any questions here before doing these three steps is pointless
