[Histogram]
A histogram illustrates the distribution of brightness
in the picture – e.g. if the graph peaks at the right,
this means there are more bright areas in the picture.
A peak in the center represents a correct exposure.
This can be used as a reference for exposure
compensation, etc.
(Example)
Dark ← OK →Bright
