About the Histogram

The histogram is a graph that allows you to judge the brightness of the recorded
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
dark, adjust the exposure compensation to a positive number. Similarly, adjust the
exposure compensation to a
negative number if the
image is bright (p. 63).

Overexposure Warning

In detailed display mode, overexposed portions of the image flash. You can use
the histogram as a guide to set the exposure compensation to a negative setting
and retake the image.
