Using the histogram to view picture brightness
Use the histogram to evaluate the distribution of light before or after you take a picture. If the peak is to the right of the graph, the subject is bright; if it’s to the left, the subject is dark. Optimal exposure is achieved when the peak is in the middle of the histogram. The flash may affect a picture’s light and shadow.
To turn on the histogram in picture-taking mode
mode or in Review, press the display button until the histogram appears.
Using the framing grid to compose a picture
The framing grid divides the LCD into thirds—vertically and horizontally. This is helpful if, for example, you want to balance a picture between water, earth, and sky.
To turn on the framing grid in Auto/SCN mode,
press the display button until the grid appears.
