It's been my experience that it's a Kentucky windage kinda thing. You have to
do it a bunch of times to figure out where your camera's histogram places blown
highlights. As it was explained to me, when you chimp a shot and check the
histogram, the camera is generating a ,jpg file to display, and the associated
histogram is a result of whatever wizardry the manufacturer has built into its
RAW files. Therefore, it's rarely spot-on accurate, so you have to learn your
own camera and plot accordingly.
Works for me. More or less. <g>
