Good day,
I've looked up the meaning on line and get "To review each image on a digital camera after it is taken." But I sense, in some cases, people on this forum mean more than simply looking at the shot on the LCD in the camera after you have taken it. What am I missing?
A second definition is " (informal, often pejorative) To get very excited when showing images on a digital camera. " but that doesn't seem to be the correct one either given the context in which I see it written here.
Thanks for your response.

I was bitten on the chest by a Chimp when I lived in Africa (Liberia). They are mean and nasty critters and it's best to stay away from them.

Either that or they are good judges of character.

Your hearing, (or memory), is probably bad. I'm willing to bet that what you heard was No,No, No!

If you are checking for exposure or composition then it is not Chimping. If you are just looking at the photo just to look at the photo and no other reason then you are a Chimper.

Thanks Cyclespeed, for asking your question! Without it Goofy, you would not have posted your photo.
That is absolutely priceless! Thank you, too!

it means simply looking at you photos fight after you shoot. Not just looking at the picture but more to look at the histogram. Sometimes a review will seem ok but after downloading you wished you had taken another shot cuz you over or under exposed and it too late. A quick look at the histogram would have told you immediately so you could take another.

As for the pejorative, some people think chimping is somehow amateurish, etc. etc.. Ignore them!!!! Look as often or seldom you need to insure get the best photograph while you are still on site.

I guess an earlier form of chimping was a Polaroid back on my medium format camera.had to check my table shot for any problems before I put the film back on.this is the fun part of digital for me.

Chimping , instead of getting a correct exposure, you use the screen to guess the exposure like a chimp would.

A studio photographer I knew back in the day, shooting 8x10 colour, would use an 8x10 polaroid back to check everything was OK.

The correct meaning for the word "chimp" is to look at the rear monitor after each shot. I do not believe anything else can be added because looking at the monitor to check exposure or composition is not precisely chimping.
