AHistograms (068)
Camera histograms are intended only as a guide and may differ from those in imaging applications. Sample histograms are shown below:
•If brightness varies evenly across the image, the distribution of tones will be relatively even.
•If the image is dark, tone distribu- tion will be shifted to the left.
•If the image is bright, tone distribu- tion will be shifted to the right.
Exposure compensation shifts the distribution of tones to the right when raised, to the left when lowered. Histograms can give you a rough idea of overall exposure when bright ambient lighting makes it difficult to see the display in the monitor.
