The histogram only reflects the post processing setting in camera, however it's 
not a problem. If you looked at the example RAW file I posted the other day you 
will see that it was shot in near midday sun on a cloudless day. The RAW file 
clips only in an area of bright white and specular reflection and there is 
still good detail in the deep shadows. The range is well under-utilized on drab 
days, it's very difficult to make a bad exposure in such lighting.
