Using the histogram to view picture exposure

Use the histogram 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 it’s to the left,
the subject is dark. Optimal exposure is achieved when the peak is in the middle of
the histogram.

To turn on the histogram in P, A, S, or M mode or in
Review, press the Info

button until the

histogram appears.

NOTE: If a scene is dark or light, you can adjust the exposure

compensation (see

page 40

) before taking the picture. The

flash may affect a picture’s light and shadow and will not
affect the histogram until after the picture is taken.
