Histogram Function The histogram is a graph that allows you to check the brightness of the image. The greater the bias toward the left in the graph, the darker the image. The greater the bias toward the right, the brighter the image. If the image is too dark, adjust the exposure compensation to a positive value. Similarly, adjust the exposure compensation to a negative value if the image is too bright (p. 52). Sample Histograms Dark Image Balanced Image Bright Image Using the Viewfinder The viewfinder (Basic Guide p. 1) can be used to conserve power by turning the LCD monitor off (p. 12) while shooting. 18
