Histogram
A histogram is a graph indicating the image’s brightness. The horizontal axis indicates the
brightness level, while the vertical axis indicates how many pixels exist for each brightness
level. From left to right on the horizontal axis, the brightness goes from dark to bright.
The more pixels there are toward the left, the darker the image. The more pixels there are
toward the right, the brighter the image.
If there are too many pixels on either
side, you can set exposure compensa-
tion (
→p.89) to take the shot again so
that the exposure is more accurate.
Highlight Alert
When shooting information display is set, the over-exposed portion will be shown with blinking
worning. For better results check the histogram and adjust the exposure compensation
towards the decreased exposure end, then take the shot again.
