Using the histogram feature will allow you to get the best performance from the camera. A When the values are concentrated to the left, the picture is under exposed. B When the values in the histogram are distributed evenly, the exposure is adequate and the brightness is well-balanced. C When the values are concentrated to the right, the picture is over exposed.
