■ About guide line display
When you align the subject on the guide
lines or the cross point of these lines,
you can take pictures with well-designed
composition by viewing the size, the slope
and the balance of the subject.
■ Histogram
• A histogram is a graph that displays
brightness along the horizontal axis
(black to white) and the number of pixels
at each brightness level on the vertical
axis.
• It allows the camera user to easily check
the way a picture is being exposed.
• When the values in the histogram are
distributed evenly A, the exposure is
adequate and the brightness is well-
balanced.
• When the values are concentrated to
the left B, the picture is under exposed.
Pictures that are mostly black, such
as night scenery, forms this type of
histogram.
• When the values are concentrated to
the right C, the picture is over exposed.
Pictures that are mostly white, form this
type of histogram.
