Histogram during Playback
● The graph that appears in “Detailed
Information Display” (p. 44) is called the
histogram. The histogram shows the
distribution of brightness in an image
horizontally, and the amount of brightness
vertically. When the graph approaches the
right side, the image is bright, but when it
approaches the left side, the image is dark,
and in this way you can judge the exposure.
● The histogram can also be displayed while
shooting (p. 164).
RGB Histogram
● If you press the o button in "Detailed
Information Display", the RGB histogram
will appear. The RGB histogram shows the
distribution of shades of red, blue and
green in an image. The shades are shown
horizontally, and the amount of each
shade vertically. In this way you can judge
the color of an image.
● Press the o button again to restore
"Detailed Information Display".
The indicator on the back of the camera (p. 43) will light or blink depending
on the camera’s status.
