Hello,
I am new here and this is my first post. I just got an M9 and headed out and took some pics today. I had some trouble interpreting the LCD while out there. While out in the field I thought the Dynamic range was horrendous since almost every shot seemed underexposed from reading the histogram. After coming home and looking at the images I was surprised how much detail remained and indeed how amazing the level of detail is. In one of the images, the bottom left of the lcd seemed to indicate underexposure but this was not the case after seeing the image at home in LR. I realize from todays experience that perhaps the best thing to do is to ensure that highlights are preserved in a very contrasty scene, and chances are that a lot will be recovered on an M9. Thoughts? Have other people experienced anything of this sort?
thanks
