Why Don't Camera's Have Raw Histograms?

When I bought FastRaw it was to review and sort photos for keepers. At the time I thought everyone did their histograms the same way.
In fact, I asked on the micro 4/3 forum why the histotrams looked different between the viewer and darktable and got lots of explanations about settings. Nobody that replied talked about the difference between a jpeg histogram and a raw histogram. I believe that the default for Darktable was to use jpegs not raw. Kind of odd given how technical a product it is.

Now that I know how in camera histograms are produced, I can take a series of images at different exposure compensation levels to figure out how I should interpret the in camera histograms for best exposure.

If I were to guess why manufacturers continue to use the jpeg histogram it might be because a majority of people use jpeg rather than processing raw. It seems useful to have a jpeg histogram that shows the result of the in camera processing that creates your image so that you can adjust for 'optimal' jpeg exposure.

Why do they have raw as an output format option then? ;)
Why Adobe, Affinity, Capture One, DxO, Luminar, SILKYPIX, ..., how do they get their profit?
How RawTherapy, Darktable, ... have their joy?
Why LibRaw has millions of users?

Don't ask that very loud. The main players at the camera industry might start to think, "ehm, why? Why are we still giving photographers the possibility to manage their own pictures?
We have invested billions in Jupiter/ Venus II /Mars IX / Napoleon XIV* image processors. Now is at last the time to get some ROI."

Got this from B&H.

live histogram on your Hasselblad is obviously a jpeg. my live histogram/zebras didnt move when i changed WB or even DRO from one extreme to the other.

i shoot some events in Jpeg. because i can 😎

agree. my original thread. "Does Raw Histogram Matter" my answer was NO. good fun though testing with all my gear. but my A74 raws clip the same as my camera histogram, so i dont have that head room irrelevant whether its a raw histogram or not.

Everybody can. Not everybody does, they have their reasons not to.

Not my experience with the following Sony cameras: a7, a7II, a7III, a7R, a7RII, a7RIII, a7RIV,a7S,a7SII, a9, a9II.

Not according to the raw files and back-of-camera shots you posted.

Sorry, but my answer is NO, you are not testing. Tests have protocols, and they are systematic.

they lack confidence knowing they make mistakes.

you keep quoting the same cameras. do us all a big favour and post a live histogram from any of those cameras.

ROTFLMAO

argumentative. holds no substance.

😁

Question for you JIm what's the latency of the live jpeg image in the EVF and what's the latency of the histogram ?
