Using the histogram to view picture exposure

Use the histogram to evaluate the distribution of light before or after you take a picture. If the peak is to the right of the graph, the subject is bright; if it's to the left, the subject is dark. Optimal exposure is achieved when the peak is in the middle of the histogram.

To turn on the histogram in PASM mode or in Review, press the Help/Info

button until the histogram appears.

NOTE:

If a scene is dark or light, you can adjust the exposure compensation (see Changing P, A, S, or M mode settings) before taking the picture. The flash may affect a picture's light and shadow and will not affect the histogram until after the picture is taken.
