Overexposure Warning during Playback
In “Detailed Information Display” (p. 45), overexposed areas of the image
flash on the screen.
Histogram
● The graph that appears in “Detailed
Information Display” (p. 45) is called the
histogram. The histogram shows the
distribution and amount of brightness of
an image. 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. 148).
The indicator on the back of the camera and the power lamp (p. 43) will light
or blink depending on the camera’s status.
