∫ Histogram
• A histogram is a graph that displays 

brightness along the horizontal axis (black 
to white) and the number of pixels at each 
brightness level on the vertical axis.

• It allows you to easily check a picture’s 

exposure.

• It is very useful if manual adjustments of 

the lens aperture and shutter speed are 
available, especially in those situations 
where automatic exposure may be difficult 
due to uneven lighting. Using the 
histogram feature allows you to get the 
maximum performance from your camera.
A When the values are concentrated on 

the left, the picture is under exposed.

B When the values are distributed evenly, 

the exposure is proper and the 
brightness is well-balanced.

C When the values are concentrated on 

the right, the picture is over exposed.

A Under Exposed
B Properly Exposed
C Over Exposed
