About the Histogram
The histogram is a graph that allows you to judge the
brightness of the shot image. The greater the bias toward
the left in the graph, the darker the image. The greater the
bias toward to the right, the brighter the image. If the
image is too dark, adjust the exposure compensation to a
positive value. Similarly, adjust the exposure compensa-
tion to a negative value if the image is too bright (p. 99).
