Notes
• The histogram does not indicate the final recorded image. It indicates the condition
of the image just monitored on the screen. The histogram will differ based on
aperture setting, etc.
• The histogram differs between shooting and playback in the following situations:
– When firing the flash.
– When the subject has low intensity, such as night scenery.
When shooting with the flash, you can adjust the amount of flash light
alone, without changing the exposure compensation. You can only change
the exposure of a main subject which is within the flash range.

• Instead of the Graphic Display, the histogram is displayed after you press
DISP on the control button several times.
The exposure compensation will change
the histogram accordingly. The right
illustration is an example.
Shooting with the exposure
compensation on the positive side
brightens the whole picture, making the
entire histogram shift to the bright side
(right side). If the exposure compensation
is applied on the negative side, the
histogram will shift to the other side.
Both ends of the histogram show a high-
key or low-key portion. You cannot
restore these areas with a computer later.
Adjust the exposure if necessary and
shoot again.
