Selecting an Exposure Compensation Value
The camera tends to shorten exposures when the large areas of the frame are very bright (for
example, when photographing an expanse of sunlit water, sand, or snow) or the background
is much brighter than the main subject.
Select positive values if the main subject looks too dark.
The camera tends to give more exposure when the large areas of the frame are very dark (for
example, when photographing a forest of dark green leaves) or when the background is much
darker than the main subject.
Select negative values if the main subject looks too bright, or “washed out”.
Histogram
A histogram shows the distribution of brightness in an image; the horizontal axis shows pixel
brightness, with dark tones to the left and bright tones to the right, while the vertical axis shows
the number of pixels in the image at each tonal value. The more pixels appear on the left, the
darker the image. The more pixels appear on the right, the brighter the image.
