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. 118 Shooting features Exposure compensation
