List Of The Default Settings - Nikon COOLPIX P51 0 Quick Start Quide

C
Exposure Compensation Value
• The changed exposure compensation value applied in j, k or l mode is saved in the camera's
memory even after the camera is turned off.
• When the shooting mode is the Fireworks show scene mode (A50) or m (Manual) (A59), the
exposure compensation cannot be used.
C
Using the Histogram
A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. Use as a guide when using
exposure compensation and shooting without the flash.
• The horizontal axis corresponds to pixel brightness, with dark tones to the left and bright tones to
the right. The vertical axis shows the number of pixels.
• Increasing exposure compensation shifts tone distribution to the right, and decreasing it shifts
tone distribution to the left.
