Thanks. I will go play around with my camera settings and see how it works.

Oh you had to go there?!?!?!? LIVE HISTOGRAM...YOUR A TEASE!

Fred, when I first saw this feature, I think it was a Sony P&S not sure, I was just FLOORED ... I mean, wow... I really don;t need to look at the rear LCD any more... it woudl be so incredible. Unfortunately it would mean semi-transparent mirrors or no mirrors which I still can;t get over ( they were pulling it off the sensor directly) as I do not want to affect the light on the sensor in any way.

But if they could somehow READ the scene with a sensor similar to Matrix but with many many more zones, say 1000 zones or 10000 zones, we could get a pseudo histogram straight from the light meter like we do today for Matrix/Evaluative meters without sacrificing the light path to the sensor or better yet, giving up a mechanical shutter (I still hate electronic shutters as my D70 suffered tremendously from blooming and other side effects of digital shutters)
