D 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.
Adjusting Vividness (Saturation Adjustment)

Vividness increases as the slider is moved up.
Vividness decreases as the slider is moved down.
Adjusting Hue (White Balance Adjustment)
Adjust the overall hue of the image.
The overall image becomes more reddish as the
slider is moved up. The overall image becomes more
bluish as the slider is moved down.
