∫About the Histogram

A histogram is a graph that displays brightness along the horizontal axis (black to white) and the number of pixels at each brightness level on the vertical axis.

It allows you to easily check a picture’s exposure.

1Dark area, mid-tone, and bright area are balanced out evenly, making it suitable to take a picture.

2The picture will become underexposed with more dark area. The pictures with mostly

dark area, such as night scenery, will also have a histogram like this.

3The picture will become overexposed with more bright area. The pictures with mostly white area will also have a histogram like this.
