Histogram

A histogram is a graph indicating the image’s brightness. The horizontal axis indicates the brightness level, while the vertical axis indicates how many pixels exist for each brightness level. From left to right on the horizontal axis, the brightness goes from dark to bright.

The more pixels there are toward the left, the darker the image. The more pixels there are toward the right, the brighter the image.

If there are too many pixels on either side, you can set exposure compensa- tion (→p.89) to take the shot again so

that the exposure is more accurate. Dark image Normal image Bright image

Highlight Alert

When shooting information display is set, the over-exposed portion will be shown with blinking worning. For better results check the histogram and adjust the exposure compensation towards the decreased exposure end, then take the shot again.
