Histogram
The Histogram displays the brightness data per channel and allows the user to
determine a level at which highlights start to clip. For improved accuracy, a
custom white balance measurement should be performed first.
Press the Histogram thumbnail once to display it full screen. The EXIF
information (ISO, f-stop and Shutter Speed) of the captured image is
displayed below the Histogram. Press the screen again to return to the image
view.
Swipe in from the right side and long press the Histogram icon to access a
dialog box to alter the settings. You can choose between viewing the
histogram with or without RGB information.

name, date and time of capture, file format, white balance and the focal length

you that the highlight information is gone and cannot be recovered.

color) warnings by selecting Thresholds…
Then move either the
Highlight Threshold
or the
