Using the histogram to view picture brightness

Use the histogram to evaluate the distribution of light before or after you take a
picture. If the peak is to the right of the graph, the subject is bright; if it’s to the left,
the subject is dark. Optimal exposure is achieved when the peak is in the middle of
the histogram.

To turn on the histogram in P/M mode or in Review,
press the Info

button until the histogram

appears.

NOTE: If a scene is dark or light, you can adjust the exposure

compensation (see

page 14

) before taking the picture. The

flash may affect a picture’s light and shadow.
