Using the histogram to view picture brightness

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 any picture-taking mode

or in Review, press the Info button until the

histogram appears.

NOTE: If a scene is dark or light, you can adjust the exposure

compensation before taking the picture. The flash may affect a

picture’s light and shadow.
