Shooting Features
Brightness (Exposure Compensation)
Adjust the overall brightness of the image.
To brighten the image, set a positive (+) value.
To darken the image, set a negative (–) value.
C Using the Histogram
A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. Use as a guide
when using exposure compensation and shooting without the flash.
The horizontal axis corresponds to pixel brightness, with dark tones to the left and
bright tones to the right. The vertical axis shows the number of pixels.
Increasing exposure compensation shifts tone distribution to the right, and
decreasing it shifts tone distribution to the left.
