Gabriela ... fully agree with your reservations about the cut off ear ... was totally unimportant for me , just picked the image and played with the TriTone !!! So forgive me on that count . Will try to do better with the next one .
Jon - quite surprised that you are puzzled , for a long while we are talking here about ETTR . ETTR has got nothing to do which system you use , whether it is SLR , Bridge , mirrorless and what all other camera system is on the market . One just needs a visible histogram on the camera back or in the viewfinder .... with the fancy mirrorless .
Shooting ETTR means .... Expose to the right .... the tones shifted to the right , as far as possible without clipping the HL . Regardless how the blacks come out .... i do not watch the darker tones during capture . All what counts are the HLīs !!!!
To sum it up ...... Perfect ETTR = tones to the right without blowing the HL , sometimes even blowing them slightly to a degree .
Hope you understand .
Cheers Andreas
