shouldn't there be at least one setting for the camera to display the histogram of the RAW capture? I don't see how the contrast setting(s) have anything to do with RAW unless the histogram ISNT on the RAW data. RAW is RAW, NO? contrast adjustments is post processing after RAW. JCO

Hi John, Still pondering (still using Halfsize to generate mini-me pics from my RAW DLs too), I'll have to test your theory, sounds likely which means that the in camera settings will reflect the in-camera histogram for RAW image capture. I usually set my contrast to minimum so I guess that's why it's been a little less misleading than it appears to have been for others?
