Histogram - Digital camera creates a histogram that describes the tonal range of each scene you capture. The cameras processor locates each picture element (pixel) on this horizontal scale according to its relative brightness from 0 (black) to 255 (white). Pixels of equal brightness are stacked vertically one upon another to create lines of varying heights. The result is a graph of very fine vertical lines that can appear as a smooth curve, a series of jagged lines, or a combination of both. Today some cinematographers feel histogram cannot create accurate ref for exposure, may mislead new persons who doesnt know how to read it, again usage of light meters are best to be combined with Histogram for digital cinematography.
