About the Histogram (DMC-LC80/DMC-LC70)
• A histogram is a graph that displays brightness along the horizontal axis (black to

• When the values are concentrated to
the left as
A, the picture is under
exposed.
• When the values in the histogram are
distributed as
B, the exposure is
adequate and the brightness is
well-balanced.

• When the values are concentrated to
the right as
