Term
. Define Histogram
Definition
An exposure histogram is a visual representation of the distribution of the brightness values in an image, ranging from pure black (starting on the left) to pure white (ending on the right).

The histogram provides the photographer with valuable information as to the range of values a given exposure captured, and the level of detail an image will possess.
