HOW TO READ A HISTOGRAM ON A CAMERA - How To Interpret A Histogram - Filmmaking 101

If you have ever wondered "what is a histogram used for in photography?", this video is for you.
A histogram is what professional photographers use to get the perfect exposure, every time.
In this video, I show you how to read a histogram on a camera. It's relatively easy to interpret a histogram once you know what you are looking at.
In this histogram tutorial for photography, I am demonstrating on the Canon EOS M50, but if you have a different camera, you can access it in the same manner.
So, why not learn how to get the perfect exposure every time, with this quick tutorial! 🙂😎
