Histogram Function - Canon PowerShot S5 IS User Manual

Histogram Function

The histogram is a graph that allows you to check the brightness
of an image. You can also display the histogram in the
and modes to check the brightness while shooting. 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. 83).
