[font color=\'#000000\']Do you shoot RAW files or only JPEG? "Exposing to the right" is intended to be a technique to maximize the amount of information available in the file for image construction in the computer. If all you do with that camera is make JPEGs, you would be best advised to get the exposure correct "in camera" so that tonal values are rendered to your satisfaction. Without RAW, you don't have the luxury of creating image files on a computer. They are already being created in the camera and being compressed, sharpened, and being adjusted for contrast, saturation, and white balance. "Exposing to the right" under these conditions might lead to sending biased information to the JPEG conversion algorithms in the camera.
To sum it up: exposing to the right is the luxury afforded those who shoot RAW. I believe the G2 shoots raw, if so, then exposing to the right is a credible technique. Look at your histogram after you shoot a picture and, if needed, adjust the exposure compensation as Michael described in the article and retake the shot.
All of this is my opinion of course. But if JPEGS were my output, I would make very sure that the exposure setting would produce an acceptable image right out of the camera.[/font]
