CUsing the Histogram

A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. Use as a guide when using exposure compensation and shooting without the flash.

•The horizontal axis corresponds to pixel brightness, with dark tones to the left and bright tones to the right. The vertical axis shows the number of pixels.

•Increasing exposure compensation value shifts tone distribution to the right, and decreasing it shifts tone distribution to the left.
