About the Histogram
The histogram is a graph that allows you to
judge the brightness of the shot image. The
greater the bias toward the left in the graph,
the darker the image. The greater the bias
toward to the right, the brighter the image. If
the image is too dark, adjust the exposure
compensation to a positive value. Similarly,
adjust the exposure compensation to a
negative value if the image is too bright
(p. 83).
