Just looking at 3:2 format, I would say the CHDK histogram is about 1-2 stops different to the Canon.
Thanks.
Do you see the random jumps and under / over exposure warning dots?
For example, a histo peak on the Canon at -3eV from highlights, will be at about -1eV on CHDK.
Update
The difference scales as you shift exposure.
OK, from the screen grab, that definitely seems like a different problem.
Does the same happen if you use Canon "Brightness histogram" and CHDK Y?
Can you take screenshots at 0 shift and +1?
If you are able to use
chdkptp, taking a "quick dump" from the live view in each setting would be ideal, since that would allow me to see the actual viewport values.
