That would be too high, because of how the sensors and electronics behave
(blooming,
non-linearities, pattern noise, pixel non-uniformity...). 70% is the safety

setting (like some Panasonics are). Generally auto-exposure in
center-weighted mode
+0.5 EV compensation puts the target right at the intended segment of the
characteristic curve.
