•Exposure mode

•Aperture

•Shutter speed

•Exposure compensation (when relevant)

•Time/date of image capture

Interpreting a Histogram

•A histogram that is clipped at the right indicates overexposure and one that is clipped at the left indicates underexposure.

Overexposure Underexposure

•A histogram that peaks towards the right indicates a high-key image without many dark tones. One that peaks on the left indicates a low-key image without many light tones.
