Histogram

The

brightness

histogram

display

shows

the

exposure

level

distribution,

overall

brightness

and

gradation.

And

the

RGB

histogram

display

is

suited

for

checking

the

color

saturation

and

gradation.

The

display

can

be

switched

with

the

[[8

Histogram}

menu.

Being

able

to

analyze

the

histogram

and

using

it

to

improve

the

next

shot

requires

advanced

knowledge

and

experience.

Only

a

basic

explanation

is

provided

here.

Sample

Histograms

Dark image

[Brightness] Display

This

histogram

is

a

graph

showing

the

distribution

of

the

image's

brightness

level.

The

horizontal

axis

indicates

the

Bright image

brightness

level

(darker

on

the

left

and

brighter

on

the

right),

while

the

vertical

axis

indicates

how

many

pixels

exist

for

each

brightness

level.

The

more

pixels

there

are

toward

the

left,

the

darker

the

image.

And

the

more

pixels

there

are

toward

the

right,

the

brighter

the

image.

If

there

are

too

many

pixels

on

the

left,

the

shadow

detail

will

be

lost.

And

if

there

are

too

many

pixels

on

the

right,

the

highlight

detail

will

be

lost.

The

tones

in-between

will

be

reproduced.

By

checking

the

image's

brightness

histogram,

you

can

see

the

exposure

level

bias

and

the

overall

tone

reproduction

condition.

[RGB] Display

This

histogram

is

a

graph

showing

the

distribution of

the

image's

brightness

level

of

each

primary

color

(RGB

or

red,

blue,

and

green).

The

horizontal

axis

indicates

the

color's

brightness

level

(darker

on

the

left

and

brighter

on

the

right),

while

the

vertical

axis

indicates

how

many

pixels

exist

for

each

color

brightness

level.

The

more

pixels

there

are

toward

the

left,

the

darker

and

less

prominent

the

color.

And

the

more

pixels

there

are

toward

the

right,

the

brighter

and

denser

the

color.

If

there

are

too

many

pixels

on

the

left,

the

respective

color

information

will

be

lacking.

And

if

there

are

too

many

pixels

on

the

right,

the

color

will

be

too

saturated

with

no

detail.

By

checking

the

image's

RGB

histogram,

you

can

see

the

color's

saturation

and

gradation

condition

and

white

balance

bias.
