Advanced w Histogram • A histogram is a graph that displays brightness along the horizontal axis (black to white) and the number of pixels at each brightness level on the vertical axis. • It allows you to easily check a picture's exposure. • It is very useful if manual adjustments of the lens aperture and shutter speed are available, especially in those situations where automatic exposure may be difficult due to uneven lighting. Using the histogram feature allows you to get the maximum performance from your camera. When the values are concentrated on the left, the picture is under exposed. When the values are distributed evenly, the exposure is proper and the brightness is well-balanced. When the values are concentrated on the right, the picture is over exposed.
