Better Fuji Photos Episode 36: Using the Histogram for Perfect Exposures

Traditional "metering" is still available in today's digital cameras. But why not use an easier, better tool to get more accurate exposures? That's the histogram!

This graph, which you can enable in different ways in your camera (outlined in the podcast & article), is easiest to use when broken up into three "zones": the left third representing the shadows, the mid third representing the midtones, and the right third representing the highlights.

Then, you simply adjust your exposure to "place" things where they belong in the histogram, depending on how much light they should reflect - or how bright you want them to be!

See this breakdown, along with a walkthrough, in the accompanying web article: https://www.jmpeltier.com/using-mirrorless-histogram/
