Exposure compensation
Using the histogram
A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. Use as a guide when
using exposure compensation and shooting without the flash.
• The horizontal axis corresponds to pixel brightness, with dark tones to the left and bright
tones to the right. The vertical axis shows the number of pixels.
• Increasing the exposure compensation value shifts the tone distribution to the right, and
decreasing it shifts the tone distribution to the left.
