TECHNICAL POINT

Histogram, Highlights and Shadow Alert

The histogram shows the distribution of brightness in a graph on

the camera's display screen. The horizontal axis shows the

brightness reproducible with the digital camera (tone), and the

vertical axis shows the amount of brightness. The far left side of

the horizontal axis shows the darkest part (shadow) that can be

reproduced, while the far right side shows the brightest part

(highlight). A histogram that's shifted to the right side is an

indication of many light areas in the image. If it's shifted to the left,

the histogram indicates more dark areas in the scene.

An over-exposed picture will be represented by large areas of

blank space displayed on the left side of the histogram.

Conversely, with an under-exposed image there will be blank

space at the right side of the histogram.

In addition, areas of the image that are outside dynamic range –

either under or over exposed – will blink to provide a warning in

the main image display.

How to read the histogram

Operating Tip

When a single frame is being

replayed, simply press the up

side of the +key to display the

histogram, and the up side

again to return to the single

frame replay.

If the subject is generally white and

bright, the histogram shifts to the

right side, and the graph is far larger

on the right edge.
