About histograms
A histogram is a graph that illustrates how light is distributed in your photo. If the
histogram has a high peak on the left, the photo is underexposed and will appear
dark. A peak on the right of the graph means that the photo is overexposed and
will appear washed out. The height of the peaks is related to color information. The
more of a particular color, the taller the peak.

when your subject is wearing clothing that is similar in color to the
background)
-
the light source behind the subject is too bright

the subject is shiny or reective
-
the subject includes horizontal patterns, such as blinds
-
the subject is not positioned in the center of the frame

Using the Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, or Manual mode
Adjust the aperture value or shutter speed to control the exposure of your photos. You can use these options in the Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual modes.
Aperture value
The aperture is a hole that lets light into the camera. The aperture housing contains
thin, metal plates that open and close, widening or narrowing the aperture, and
controlling the amount of light that enters the camera. The size of the aperture is
closely related to the brightness of a photo: the larger the aperture, the brighter
the photo; the smaller the aperture, the darker the photo. Note that the larger the
aperture value, the smaller the aperture size. For example, an aperture set to 5.6 is
larger than an aperture set to 11.
Small aperture value (The size of the
S
aperture is large.)
Large aperture value (The size of the
S
aperture is small.)
Shutter speed
Shutter speed, which is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, refers to
the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter. A slow shutter speed
allows more time to let light in. All things being equal, photos are brighter, but fast
moving objects tend to blur. On the other hand, a fast shutter speed allows less time
to let light in. Photos are darker, but objects in motion are captured more clearly.
