I hope I can get some feedback regarding this issue. I have found that the taken image of my 4150 and its associated histogram are brighter than the live view image and its associated histogram when viewed on the LCD. I noticed it immediately when I received my back but didn't dig into it until recently.
The histograms, to me, are a true reflection of the images they are associated with. The live view image is dimmer maybe by 1/2 to 3/4 stop (or slightly more ) and it's histogram reflects that. In a scene that has a lot of contrast the brighter taken image can be somewhat annoying as the brightest areas can approach loss of detail which can affect critical focus check. The associated histogram also shows that the image is in fact brighter.
What is more interesting is that on my calibrated computer the image on screen almost exactly mimics the brightness of the live view image - not the taken image. The histogram in C1 also very closely matches the histogram in live view.
It would be much more beneficial if I could rely on the taken image but it takes self training to match everything to the reliable live view.
Am alone with this anomaly or is this common with all 4150's?
