Histogram Function
The histogram is a graph that allows you to check the brightness
of the image. The greater the bias toward the left in the graph, the
darker the image.
The greater the bias toward 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. 52).
