You can view clipped areas of the picture to see detail in highlights and shadows that 
correspond to underexposure and overexposure. It’s normal to have some highlight

Using the histogram
In Capture or Review, the histogram shows the distribution of the subject’s brightness. 
If the peak is to the right of the graph, the subject is bright; if it’s to the left, the

Press the Info button
to turn the histogram 
on/off.
