The horizontal axis indicates the brightness level (darker on the left and brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates how many Dark image pixels exist for each brightness level. The more pixels there are toward the left, the darker the image. And the more pixels there are toward the right, the brighter the image. Normal image If there are too many pixels on the left, the shadow detail will be lost. And if there are too many pixels on the right, the highlight detail will be lost. The tones in- between will be reproduced. With the image's histogram, you can check how Bright image accurate or lopsided the exposure is and how rich the overall tonal range is. Highlight Alert When the shooting information is displayed, any overexposed areas of the image will blink. To obtain more image detail in the overexposed areas, set the exposure compensation to a negative amount and shoot again. 108
