Using The Histogram - Casio QV-4000 User Manual

Using the Histogram

Using DISP to display the histogram on the monitor screen
makes it possible for you to check exposure conditions as
you record images (page E-24).
The histogram is a graph of pixel brightness levels in terms
of the number of pixels. The vertical axis represents the
number of pixels, while the horizontal axis represents bright-
ness. The information on the histogram can be used when
recording, correcting or editing an image to determine
whether image details include enough shadows (left side),
midtones (center), or highlights (right side).
If the histogram appears too lopsided in either direction, you
should use exposure compensation (page E-72) to adjust
the EV value before recording the image.
