When you take pictures with the flash or in dark places, the histogram is displayed in
orange because the recorded picture and the histogram do not match.

The histogram does not appear in motion picture mode and during playback .
A histogram is a graph that displays brightness along the horizontal axis (black to
white) and the number of pixels at each brightness level on the vertical axis.
It allows you to easily check a picture’s exposure.
Examples of histogram:
Dark, mid-tone, and
bright areas are bal-
anced out evenly, mak-
ing it suitable to take a
picture.
Properly Exposed
The picture will become
overexposed with more
bright areas. The pic-
tures with mostly white
areas will also have a
histogram like this.
Overexposed
The picture will become
underexposed with
more dark areas. The
pictures with mostly
dark areas, such as
night scenery, will also
have a histogram like
this.
Underexposed
