Histogram Function
The histogram is a graph that allows you to judge the brightness of the
image while shooting. In P, Tv, Av and M modes, the greater the bias
toward the left in the graph, the darker the image. The greater the bias
toward the right, the brighter the image.
If the image is too dark, adjust the exposure compensation to a positive
value (p. 69), set a low shutter speed, or set a low aperture value.
Similarly, adjust the exposure compensation to a negative value, set a fast
shutter speed, or set a large aperture value if the image is too bright.
Brightness of shot images can be judged in playback mode.
