Histogram
The histogram depicts the brightness distribution in the picture.
The horizontal axis shows the tone values from black (left) through
gray to white (right). The vertical axis corresponds to the number of
pixels at each brightness level.
This form of representation – in conjunction with the impression of
the picture itself – provides an additional quick and easy assess-
ment of the exposure setting.

Clipping
The clipping displays show the light (red flashing) and dark (blue
flashing) areas of a picture that are over or under exposed. To
adjust these displays to specific conditions or your compositional
ideas, you can specify limit values, i.e. the level of over or under
exposure at which they appear.
The clipping displays thus enable you to recognize affected pic-
tures very easily and to adjust the exposure setting very easily.
