JimGoshorn Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I've never seen this kind of readout before and would like to know how you read it and why you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kearn Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Waveform scopes are commonly used in video production. The very bottom horizontally represents pure black (0 value). The very top horizontally represents pure white (maximum legal exposure, the point at which highlights blow out). The far left side of the scope corresponds to the far left side of the photo and the far right side of the frame to the far right side of the photo. So if the exposure is raised or lowered, highlight clipping, where the mid-tones are falling, how dark the shadows are, and so on, are more readily apparent. You also can see what the level exposure is for which objects. In its own way, It tells you more than a histogram. I'm pleased and surprised to see it included.
