Hardware Histogram
When the camera is running in the 10 bit mode, it is possible to activate a histogram
that is done by the camera hardware such as exposure, gain, frequency, environment
lighting, etc. This RAW histogram allows you to do fine tuning of dynamic range.
To open the hardware histogram:
1 Check the Use 10 Bits check box in the bottom of Device Settings window.
