Histogram display
This function lets you display a histogram during shooting or playback.
During shooting, you can display a histogram showing the brightness and
contrast of your subject in the monitor. Checking the histogram enables
precise exposure control.
During playback, you can display a histogram showing the brightness and
contrast of recorded pictures.
The histogram display can be set separately for shooting mode and playback
mode.
