NO ONE IS FUCKING TALKING ABOUT OVEREXPOSED HIGHLIGHTS.
The entire photographic industry agrees with me, dipshit. The way a camera sensor is designed is to use more levels to record highlights, then midtones, THEN shadows. Out of 4,096 bits used to record light intensity of a pixel, only 64 are for shadows. That means less dynamic range, that means less recovery.
Google "ETTR", stop sounding like an uninformed jackass.

As to why the camera works like that, it's intuitive. There is more light in highlights, hence it's easier for a sensor to record its intensity. There's less light in shadows, so the signal must be amplified to get the level of each pixel, hence why there is ALWAYS more noise in shadows.
>>202033 I do not regularly shoot film, but when you are working with a scanned image, you are only working in 8-bit mode, so you have almost no control over the dynamic range.
