Haven't got time to answer this properly now (I'm off to work tomorrow). I hope these quick lines make sense. Generally I use the histogram and the blinking less frequent than what I used to before (when I was new to my *istDS). I feel I have a lot more control now. > 1. Do you feel you understand the histogram? > Yes, but not fully. A histogram with barely visible indication from left to right, makes me confused. > 2. Do you ever look at the histogram while you are shooting? When? Under > what > situations? > When shooting a sequence of shots I tend to have look after the first picture. If things seem ok, I continue without having a second look. > 3. Do you ever look at the blinkies? When? Under what situations? > I usually have them on. If something looks odd, I usually check the histogram. > 4. Do you find one of them (histogram or blinkies) more useful than the > other? Do you look at it more? Or do you tend to use both in concert? > I use both when shooting with stage light, and other "contrasty" motifs. When I feel I have control, I still tend to have a brief look at them both. > ---------
