In reply to Mike Fewster. Thanks for the feedback! These old articles do involve pretty substantial rewrites and updates (but we do miss items on occasion, of course!). To address your concern: This article is designed to help beginners wrap their head around histograms in a broad sense rather than discuss in-the-field specifics. Was there a mirrorless vs mirror difference you feel should be covered?

DPS, what are you doing? If you are going to continue to use old articles like this, some attempt should be made to update them. At the very least an article today should have pointed out the differences in using a histogram in mirrorless and mirror digital cameras.

well done Darlene love the article so many details. Keep it up the good work. I actually just watched a video that covers the topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C09f_BB75tU it worth watching it

Good basic presentation, including the addition of “blinky” or “zebra” overlays showing exactly where clipping is. Would only add a) a lot of cameras provide both simple Luminance and color RGB real-time histograms along with review display, and b) nearly all post-processing software provides histograms (in Darktable one can “grab and drag” the live histogram as a broad exposure control.)

(Now I notice from comments this is an old recyled post turning up in news feed: they ought to date these items at the top.)

Reference “histogram for a dark subject”. The caption says that it is shifted to the “right”‘. This is incorrect. It is actually shifted to the “left” .

Hi Darlene. First, thanks for your all your help getting me to the next level. I just noticed something and am not sure if you just made a word choice error or I’m misunderstanding the language. In your third histogram diagram/picture, you say; “This is a histogram for a dark subject, it is not wrong it is just more shifted to the right to represent the tones of the subject.” Did you mean to say that it is more shifted to the ‘left’? I thought we were talking how the pixel representation of dark and light pixels was represented (and in this case skewed to the left). If not, please help me understand your wording.Thanks.

Hi Darlene,

Thanks for the article on histograms. It was easy to understand. Is the histogram related to your metering setting, i.e. for center weighted does it only monitor that area?
Thanks,
