using exposure compensation and shooting without the flash.
•
The horizontal axis corresponds to pixel brightness, with dark tones to the left and bright
tones to the right. The vertical axis shows the number of pixels.

Increasing the exposure compensation value shifts the tone distribution to the right, and
decreasing it shifts the tone distribution to the left.
