Histograms
Camera histograms
are intended
as a guide only and may differ from those displayed
in
imaging
applications.
Some sample histograms
are shown below:
If the image contains
objects with a wide range of
brightnesses,
the distribution
of tones will be relatively
eve n.
If the image is dark, tone distribution
will be shifted to the
left.
If the image is bright, tone distribution
will be shifted to
the right.
Increasing
exposure compensation
shifts the distribution
of tones to the right, while
decreasing
exposure
compensation
shifts the distribution
to the left. Histograms
can
provide a rough idea of overall exposure
when bright
ambient
lighting
makes it difficult
to
see photographs
in the monitor.
