Using the Histogram
A histogram shows the brightness
distribution of an image. The horizontal
axis represents brightness (dark at the
7
left and bright at the right) and the
vertical axis represents the number of
pixels.
The u features two histogram
displays. The "Brightness histogram"
shows the distribution of brightness
and the "RGB histogram" shows the
distribution of color intensity.
1 Histogram Display (p.26)
The shape of the histogram before and after shooting tells you whether the
brightness and contrast are correct or not, and lets you decide if you need to use
EV compensation and take the picture again.
