A histogram towards the right side results when the overall image is light. A histogram that is too far to the right may result in “white out” of the light areas of an image, as shown in the nearby image.

An overall well-balanced histogram results when the overall image is at optimal lightness.

IMPORTANT!

•A centered histogram does not necessarily guarantee optimum exposure. If you intentionally want to over expose or under expose the image, you may not want a centered histogram.

•Due to the limitations of exposure compensation, you may not be able to achieve an optimum histogram configuration.

•Use of the flash and certain shooting conditions can cause the histogram to indicate exposure that is different from the actual exposure of the image when it was shot.
