But what you see is not the raw data, it is the
camera "JPEG interpretation" of the raw data.
Same thing for the histogram.
For instance, if you set contrast in the E-1 to
-2 instead of 0, you see a difference in the
histogram, which shifts slightly to the left,
allowing you to better assess the clipping of
highlights (i.e., the clipping corresponds better
to what it is actually in the raw data, and what
is recoverable with Adobe camera raw or not).
However, the histogram in Adobe Camera Raw is not
modified by this contrast adjustment in the
camera.
