Histograms
The histogram is a graph showing brightness levels on the horizontal axis, and the number of
pixels at each level of brightness on the vertical axis. Darker pixels are towards the left side of
the graph, and brighter pixels towards the right. By looking at a histogram you can judge the
brightness of a picture after it is recorded.
If the histogram is higher towards the dark end,
set the exposure compensation (→77) towards the
plus end. If the histogram is higher towards the
light end, set the exposure compensation towards
the minus end, then take the picture again.
Highlight Alert
When exposure information is displayed for a picture that will be overexposed, the related
settings will blink. For better results check the histogram and adjust the exposure compensa-
tion towards the decreased exposure end (→77), then take the picture again.
