Using the histogram to view picture brightness

Use the histogram in Capture or Review to evaluate the distribution of light before or after you take a picture. If the peak is to the right of the graph, the subject is bright; if the peak is to the left, the subject is dark. Optimal exposure is achieved when the peak is in the middle of the histogram. Available only in PASM modes.

Press the Info button to turn the histogram On/Off.

NOTE: If a scene is dark or light, you can adjust the exposure compensation before taking the picture. The flash may affect a picture’s light and shadow.
