Adjusting Brightness (Exposure Compensation)

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.

• 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.
