- Photos NOT OK to edit
Sorry, I missed that.Sash[DSL said:]I mean this:
Why would you need this applied within the camera when you can apply it to all images using image array editing capabilites?
With digital you get a small dynamic range and highlights tend to get blown out. Nikon chose to go on the conservative side and underexpose by .7 stops. Instead of compensating and losing higlight detail it's better to apply a custom curve that brings up the midtones without blowing out the highlights. With RAW this doesn't matter because you have to process the photo anyway. But if you want to shoot a bunch of snapshot JPG's it's much easier to have the images exposed well right out of the camera.
