The RAW RGB Exposure Meter displays the quantity of over-exposed or under-exposed pixels in each of the separate red, green, and blue channels of the raw sensor data.

The top and bottom RGB lights illuminate when a small number of pixels on the sensor are overexposed or underexposed. This indicates that a small number of pixels in the image are too bright and will not contain any detail, or are too dark and will appear as noise.

The bars show the quantity of overexposed and underexposed RGB pixels on the sensor. Adjust the settings in the camera such as ND, Iris, or shutter speed to compensate, or change the scene's lighting for the best, balanced, image.

Histogram

The Histogram area displays an RGB exposure histogram distribution of the of the Log3G10 signal after ISO and White Balance adjustments.

The histogram displays the darkest image elements at the far left, the midtones in the middle, and the lightest image elements at the far right. This tool provides a fast and easy way for you to determine your overall image exposure levels.
