Checking Pictures Directly After Shooting
(Review Function and Histogram)
When the REVIEW button is pressed directly after taking a picture, the picture is displayed on the
LCD monitor in this mode.
When you turn the review function on in Miscellaneous Settings, pictures are displayed
automatically, without having to press the REVIEW button.
Also, when histogram is set to “Auto” in “Miscellaneous Settings”, the histogram for a picture is
displayed when that picture is displayed. When “Manual” is set, the histogram for a picture can be
displayed by pressing the REVIEW button when that picture is displayed with the review function.
When the REVIEW button is pressed while a histogram is being displayed, the histogram disappears.
Histogram
A histogram is a bar graph which shows the distribution of brightness on a picture. The horizontal
axis represents brightness and the vertical axis shows the number of pixels of each brightness level
within a picture.
Generally, when a picture is overexposed, bars concentrate to the right of the graph. When a picture
is underexposed, bars concentrate to the left of the graph. Use the histogram as a standard to
determine the light exposure for a picture.
When Overexposed When Properly Exposed When Underexposed
Note
Depending on the picture, if may not be possible to display an accurate Histogram.
