Histograms

The histogram is a graph showing brightness levels on the horizontal axis, and the number of pixels at each level of brightness on the vertical axis. Darker pixels are towards the left side of the graph, and brighter pixels towards the right. By looking at a histogram you can judge the brightness of a picture after it is recorded. If the histogram is higher towards the dark end, set the exposure compensation towards the plus end. If the histogram is higher towards the light end, set the exposure compensation towards the minus end, then take the picture again.

Highlight Alert

When exposure information is displayed for a picture that will be overexposed, the related settings will blink. For better results check the histogram and adjust the exposure compensation towards the decreased exposure end, then take the picture again.
