Purpose

Introduction

A Histogram is a graph that gives the information about the exposure of the captured frame. It gives details about the distribution of light on a picture.

The histogram explains which portions of the frame are over-exposed or under-exposed and helps you to adjust the captured frame accordingly.

You can display the histogram information directly on a viewfinder or analyze it using any analysis software.
