>Do you use edit or use different settings for sunny or overcast days?
I use M-mode for everything. In scenes with high dynamic range, like photos taken on sunny days with some direct sunlight and some shade, I get the highlights correctly exposed and edit the shadows later. On overcast days there isn’t much to worry about except getting enough light.
>So should I bump the contrast on overcast days?
Shoot in RAW format and you can make that decision in post-processing.
>Or change the histogram?
You can use the histogram as an after-the-fact metre. Lots of pixels clumped to the right-hand side, some even clipped off? Your image is overexposed. Same but on the left-hand side? It’s underexposed. This may not be the perfect approach but, as long as i see no clipping on the histogram, I call it acceptable and move on. I can usually adjust exposure as much as I want/need to in post if nothing is clipped. Please consult the graph. In my opinion, the ETTL, neutral and ETTR histograms are all acceptable. Consult >>4450154 for autism on which of these three histograms in particular should be your “bullseye.”
