Histogram display
A histogram shows the luminance distribution, displaying how many pixels there are by luminance. It shows darker toward the left and brighter toward the right.
The histogram changes depending on the exposure compensation.
A peak at the right or left end of the histogram indicates that the image has an overexposed or underexposed area, respectively. You cannot correct such defects using a computer after shooting. Perform exposure compensation before shooting as necessary.
(A): Pixel count
(B): Brightness
Note
- The information in the histogram display does not indicate the final photograph. It is information about image displayed on the screen.
- The histogram displays for shooting and playback are extremely different when shooting low-luminance subjects such as a night scene.
