[QUOTE="J-see, post: 387216, member: 31330"] The viewfinder isn't digital if that's what you mean. Any changes in cam have no effect on the image you see. It's old school. ;) You can check the histogram of a shot taken and then adjust exposure to compensate for clipping. I take most shots without checking since I know I can adjust exposure compensation up to 2 stops in both directions and still do what I want with it in LR. Not all shots of course. I tried about every setting up to their max and then checked what I could or couldn't do in post. That's my guideline when setting exposure. For high contrast shots; if I want to salvage light, I overexpose, if I want to salvage dark, I underexpose. Simply use exposure compensation for that. The shots your normalize in post. How much depends on the situation, the cam and your ability in processing. [/QUOTE]
