D Hist
ograms
Histograms show tone distribution. Pixel brightness (tone) is plotted on the horizontal axis and the
number of pixels on the vertical axis.
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 pictures in the monitor.
D The Histogram Display
RGB histograms show tone distribution.
Camera histograms may differ from those displayed in imaging applications. Use them as a guide to
actual tone distribution.
