I got it from here: One issue that has come up is that with the possible exception of the Fuji S2 Pro all other current DSLRs only display overall luminosity histograms and not individual channel brightness. This means that it's possible to blow out one of the R G or B channels without realizing

I've been told that a lot of DSLR cameras use only the green channel when calculating the histogram, instead of the full RGB data. Does the Pentax *istDS display a true RGB histogram, or not? It seems that there have been times when the histogram hasn't been entirely accurate for me. I got

I would expect that to be true of all digital cameras as exposure (luminance) is taken only from the 2 green pixels (each interpolated pixel is made up of two green and one each red and blue) which most closely match the response of the human eye. (Disclaimer: the above is vastly simplified,
