Doing more with your camera Using the histogram to view picture exposure 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 PASM mode or in Review, press the Help/Info button until the histogram appears. NOTE: If a scene is dark or light, you can adjust the exposure compensation (see page 38) before taking the picture. The flash may affect a picture's light and shadow and will not affect the histogram until after the picture is taken. For more about the Help/Info button, see page 13. www.kodak.com/go/support 45

Using the histogram to view picture exposure
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 PASM mode or in
Review, press the Help/Info
button until the
histogram appears.
NOTE: If a scene is dark or light, you can adjust the exposure
compensation (see
page 38
) before taking the picture. The
flash may affect a picture’s light and shadow and will not
affect the histogram until after the picture is taken.
