The graph that appears in “Detailed Information Display” (p. 199) is called the histogram. The histogram shows the distribution of brightness in an image horizontally, and the amount of brightness vertically. When the graph approaches the right side, the image is bright, but when it approaches the left side, the image is dark, and in this way you can judge the exposure.

The histogram can also be displayed while shooting (p. 196).
