C Using 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 shifts tone distribution to the right, and

 

 

 

decreasing it shifts tone distribution to the left.
