B: Shooting Information Display
[RGB] Display
This histogram is a graph showing  the distribution of each primary 
color’s brightness level in the image (RGB or red, green, and blue). 
The horizontal axis indicates the co lor’s brightness level (darker on 
the left and brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates 
how many pixels exist for each color brightness level. The more 
pixels there are toward the left,  the darker and less prominent the 
color. The more pixels there are toward the right, the brighter and 
denser the color. If there are too many pixels on the left, the 
respective color information will be lacking. If there are too many 
pixels on the right, the color will be too saturated with no gradation. 
By checking the image’s RGB histogram, you can see the color’s 
saturation and gradation condition, as well as white balance 
inclination.
