The HV30 Special Scene Recording Programs, Part 2


Okay, here, finally, are the histograms for the special recording programs. Aside from the Fireworks mode, I can see two distinct patterns emerge.
The Beach and Snow programs have two spikes towards the bright (right) side of the graphs for all four channels. The dark (left) side is diminished in comparison to the other programs' histograms, so it's obvious these two programs shift the entire image to the bright side.
On the other hand, the Night, Portrait, Sports, Spotlight, and Sunset histograms look fairly similar: a bump on the left-third of the graph, two or more spikes in the middle, and a somewhat empty right-hand side.
Clearly, I need to do more testing of these programs to see how they work in other situations!

Next time, I'll take a look at the white balance settings.
