Old Lumix FZ20 _ Histogram _ Dynamic Range _ Spot Meter _ Zone System

[Mustafa Umut Sarac]

I bought a lumix fz20 with leitz vario elmarit 36-420mm range camera from keh.

I will only take TIFF photographs.

• Does camera have a histogram ?
• Will the histogram of GIMP Software show same histogram as I was taking the picture on TIFF.
• What is the dynamic range of the camera ?

• Does the camera have a spot meter ?

Thank you.
