 The blue bar increases in size with increasing underexposure.  So the image above shows a small amount of the scene is extremely underexposed, and a full bar would indicate a large amount of the scene is extremely underexposed. The blue bar increases in size with increasing underexposure.  So the image above shows a small amount of the scene is extremely underexposed, and a full bar would indicate a large amount of the scene is extremely underexposed.

 As with the histogram, the color displayed by the zebras, represent the color channel in the camera that is overexposed.  Again, a Cyan reading is describing overexposure in both the Green, and the Blue channels, Yellow describing both Green and Red channels, and Magenta describing both Red and Blue channels. As with the histogram, the color displayed by the zebras, represent the color channel in the camera that is overexposed.  Again, a Cyan reading is describing overexposure in both the Green, and the Blue channels, Yellow describing both Green and Red channels, and Magenta describing both Red and Blue channels.

 A general consensus amongst photographers, is that the limit for acceptable amount of noise in images, is 2 EV above this noise floor. A general consensus amongst photographers, is that the limit for acceptable amount of noise in images, is 2 EV above this noise floor.
