ªAbout the Histogram (DMC-LC80/DMC-LC70)

•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 the camera user to easily check the way a picture is being exposed.

•When the values are concentrated to the left as A, the picture is under exposed.

•When the values in the histogram are distributed as B, the exposure is adequate and the brightness is well-balanced.

•When the values are concentrated to the right as C, the picture is over exposed.
