[Leica] Question about M8 exposure

[lmdmd at att.net (Leland Deane)]

During two of his seminars (the ones I attended), Seth Resnick talked about 
exposure with a digital sensor in mind instead of slide film. While relative 
over exposure is death to film, keeping the histogram to the right as much 
as possible is desirable because you are adding 'information' digitally that 
you can work with. Now of course we're not talking about gross over 
exposure, clipping, or poor exposures. But the point is well taken that one 
should try and 'gather' as much digital data as possible for post 
production. 

Seth recommended, therefore, setting the exposure compensation in most 
cameras to +1/3 or +2/3 of a stop. I have used this with all my Canons and 
Leicas (digital) with good results.
