Histogram

Some sample histograms

are

shown below:

• Ifthe image contains objects

with

a

wide

range

of

brightnesses, the distribution

of

tones will be

relatively even.

• Ifthe image

is

dark,

tone

distribution will be shifted

to

the left.

• Ifthe image

is

bright, tone distribution will be shifted It'

to

the right.

Increasing exposure compensation shifts tone distribution

to

the right. Tone distribution

shifts

to

the left when exposure compensation

is

decreased. If bright ambient lighting

makes

it

difficult

to

see

the display in the monitor, the histogram

can

be used

to

get

an

idea

of

overall exposure.

* Note that camera histograms

are

intended

as

a gUide only and may differ from those displayed

in

imaging applications.
