How to use the histogram display
The histogram display enables you to check the brightest highlights
and darkest shadows which may result in a poor image. If the bars
in the histogram are higher towards the right, the image may be too
bright. If the bars are higher on the left, the image may be too dark.
Compensate the exposure or re-compose, etc. then shoot again.
