Pentax Optio S6 specifications Using Histogram

Using Histogram

A histogram is a graph showing the
brightness of an image on the
	pixels
horizontal axis and the number of
pixels on the vertical axis (distribution
	of
chart of the brightness). The histogram
	Number
will help you detect the brightness of
the image you have taken. For
instance, the graph peak tends to
		Brightness
appear on the left side for a darker
	(Dark)		(Bright)
image, and the graph peak tends to

appear on the right side for a brighter

image. In general, when the exposure meter of your image is well- balanced, the graph peaks tend to appear in the middle. On the contrary, when the exposure meter gets imbalanced tending dark and bright without showing a neutral brightness, the peaks appear not in the middle but on both sides.
