Histogram fuji XPro2

[Joostven]

Can somebody help me out by using the histogram correctly if the pictures are over- or under exposed according to the histogram? Thanks!

What's your question? Reading the histogram, or getting it displayed?

How to read it correctly.

If there are a lot of spikes at the left part, or completely at the left edge, you image is to dark (or contains a lot of dark parts) and is possibly underexposed. The opposite for the right part of the histogram. A lot of light parts, overexposed. A nice and evenly shaped hill in the middle of the histogram should be a correct exposed picture. Try google...

Let me nitpick: the histogram should match your intention.

Burb, by your definition your profile pic is very underexposed according to its histogram.  However, of course it is not; the intention was to create a silhouette, which is naturally dark.

 

Joostven, Burb is generally correct: google it.  You'll find much more detailed answers than what we all can come up with here.

Joost, I personally love the Cambridge in Colour tutorials. Here's one on the use of histograms: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/histograms1.htm
