About the Histogram
The histogram is a graph that allows you to judge the brightness of
the recorded image. The greater the bias toward the left in the
graph, the darker the image. The greater the bias toward to the right,
the brighter the image.
If the image is dark, adjust the exposure compensation to a positive
number. Similarly, adjust the exposure compensation to a negative
number if the image is bright. (p. 92)
