Back from Spain and Portugal, sitting here editing, and I keep hearing myself say it in videos. Straight out of camera.
But here is the problem. You cannot expose for the highlights and also claim the photo is straight out of camera. Can you? If you are not adjusting the colors, does that count? If the overall balance is untouched, is that straight enough?
On a sunny day you have no choice. Expose for the highlights or everything blows out. Then I come home and lift shadows in Lightroom, or Snapseed on the phone, because that is what the tools are for.
So tell me in the comments. What do YOU mean when you say straight out of camera?
