DISP.Shooting Information Display
About the Highlight Alert
When the shooting information is displayed, any overexposed areas of the image will blink. Toobtain more image detail in the overexposed areas, set the exposure compensation to a negative amount and shoot again.
About the Histogram
The brightness histogram shows the exposure level distribution and overall brightness. The RGB histogram is for checking the color saturation and gradation. The display can be switched with [3:
Histogram].
[Brightness] | Display | SampleHistograms |
This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of |
| |
the image'sbrightness level. The horizontal axis |
| |
indicates the brightness level (darker on the left and |
| |
brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates | Darkimage | |
how many pixels exist for each brightness level. The |
| |
more pixels there are toward the left, the darker the |
| |
image. And the more pixels there are toward the right, | Normalbrightness | |
the brighter the image. If there are too many pixels on |
| |
the left, the shadow detail will be lost. And if there are |
| |
too many pixels on the right, the highlight detail will be |
| |
lost. The gradation | Bright image | |
checking the image and its brightness histogram, you |
| |
can see the exposure level inclination and the overall gradation. [RGB] Display
This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of each primary color's brightness level in the image (RGB or red, green, and blue). The horizontal axis indicates the color'sbrightness level (darker on the left and brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates how many pixels exist for each color brightness level. The more pixels there are toward the left, the darker and less prominent the color. And the more pixels there are toward the right, the brighter and denser the color. If there are too many pixels on the left, the respective color information will be lacking. And if there are too many pixels on the right, the color will be too saturated with no detail. By checking the image'sRGB histogram, you can see the color'ssaturation and gradation condition and white balance inclination.
