Hello
Dear colleagues, there is another small (small so to speak) problem. The attached graph shows the pixel values of images of the usual white sheet, taken with a nikon D3000 camera and varying only the shutter speed. A few things emerge:
1 – the maximum PV value, corresponding to the minimum shutter speed, is 255. As if I had shot in jpg format;
2 – there is no proportionality between PV and shutter speed. The function is completely different from the one in Robin’s graph;
3 – the PV-lens surface graph is almost linear at each iso.
The sensor of the nikon is of the CCD type.

I would ask for help in interpreting these at least apparent inconsistencies.
