Using the histogram to view picture brightness

Use the histogram in Capture or Review to evaluate the distribution of light before or
after you take a picture. If the peak is to the right of the graph, the subject is bright; if
the peak is to the left, the subject is dark. Optimal exposure is achieved when the
peak is in the middle of the histogram. Available only in PASM modes.

NOTE: If a scene is dark or light, you can adjust the exposure compensation before taking the picture. The

flash may affect a picture’s light and shadow.
