[Leica] IMG: Practicing Exposure Control

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

The exposures seem spot on. Just remember that you can probably overexpose
a bit - most manufacturers cheat a bit, and build in a latitude of 0.5 to
0.67 of a stop on the highlights (i.e. to the right of the histogram),
which can be adjusted in PP to bring out highlight details.
Cheers
