A good discussion could be had regarding all three of the above (because the ramifications are important), as long as it’s not “quashed” by any particular member [ahem].

yep, could have been a good learning on all things picture style, but the discussion was squashed as you said

Confused. Squashed by who, me, because I choset an answer? Feel free to discuss, I'm still reading this thread because I'm a newb and want to learn.

Following this and the Histogram at right or center? thread in the Beginners Questions forum.

So what have you come up with ? What does your testing show ? What picture style do you think allows you to make the most out of the histogram feature on the M200 ?

My testing still makes me think I most like a User Defined picture style that makes focus peaking light up the brightest.

I do not think it should be that way though.

I haven't found a definite solution. Since I don't fully understand the histogram behavior with different styles to accurately expose to the right, just exposing to what I feel is the "correct exposure". In raw, I do tend to expose a bit to the right. It would be nice if the camera had zebras function but I don't think it does.

I just keep it in the standard picture style unless I'm shooting raw+jpg, in which case I shoot for the out of camera jpg and not post (raw).
