Histogram Mode

When Histogram mode is active, the selected image, its histogram, and the
following information appear:

• Exposure mode

• Aperture

• Shutter speed

• Exposure compensation (when relevant)

• Time/date of image capture

• Tag icon (if image has been tagged)

• Sound icon (if sound file has been recorded)

NOTE: Highlight data in the "ERI" zone of the histogram is clipped with

normal processing. Recover ERI data using Exposure / Tone in
KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Photodesk software.

Interpreting a Histogram

• A histogram that is clipped at the right indicates overexposure and one

that is clipped at the left indicates underexposure.

• A histogram that peaks towards the right indicates a high-key image

without many dark tones. One that peaks on the left indicates a low-key
image without many light tones.
