    It is the relative exposure index, indicating a good exposure, under exposed or over exposed.

    What is good exposure?
    Indicator near value 0?

    You see in the screenshot a coloured line from grey (left) to red (right).
    I think the second picture CF016068 has a better exposure?
    Do You agree?

    Why give the indicator more (additionally) information as the coloured line?

    The indicator shows the median value of the capture.
    Closest to Zero is best. To the right is overexposed, to the left is under. The Grey-Green-Red line indicates what is workable and what is too little or too much.

    In your case, you don't need to worry about it as the exposures are quite good.
