THE HISTOGRAM

The histogram (3.3.2) represents the distribution of

brightness in the picture. The horizontal axis shows

the tone values from black (left) through gray to white

(right). The vertical axis depicts the number of pixels

of each brightness level. This form of representation

– together with the impressing of the picture itself –

allows an additional quick and easy assessment of the

exposure setting after taking the picture.

On the Leica M-E, you can choose between diﬀerent

versions of the histogram: These are based on either

the overall brightness or separately for the three

primary colors red/green/blue, or with identication

of the areas in the picture where no image appears

because they are too bright or too dark (clipping).

Note:

The histogram display always refers to the section of

the picture displayed at that time.

A: Predominance of dark pixels, only a few light ones: Underex-

posure

B: Most pixels are of medium brightness: Correct exposure

C: Predominance of light pixels, only a few dark ones: Overexposure
