Where to find it

You can keep track of your exposures using a histogram at every stage in an image’s life

Going live 1

You can see a histogram when you’re shooting with the Live View display, recording movies or using an electronic viewfinder.

Play your cards right 2

You can view colour histograms as well as the brightness histogram when you play back your images. (More on that later…)

Screen test 3

The histogram in raw processing software such as Lightroom changes shape in real time as you make adjustments.
