∫ About the 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.
1 Dark area, mid-tone, and bright area are balanced out evenly, making it suitable to take
a picture.
2 The picture will become underexposed with more dark area. The pictures with mostly
dark area, such as night scenery, will also have a histogram like this.
3 The picture will become overexposed with more bright area. The pictures with mostly
white area will also have a histogram like this.
Examples of histogram
Note
•
When you take pictures with the flash or in dark places, the histogram is displayed in
orange because the recorded picture and the histogram do not match each other.
•
The histogram is an approximation in recording mode.
•
The histogram of a picture may not match in recording mode and playback mode.
•
The histogram displayed in this camera does not match histograms displayed by picture editing
software used in PCs etc.
