Indicator

Display in Dark Conditions during Shooting

The display automatically brightens when shooting in dark conditions, allowing you to check the composition (Night Display function). However, the brightness of the image on the screen, and the brightness of the actual image recorded may be different. Screen noise may appear and the movement of the subject may appear somewhat jagged on the screen. This has no effect on the recorded image.

Overexposure Warning during Playback

In “Detailed Information Display” (p. 45), overexposed areas of the image flash on the screen.

Histogram during Playback

 

High

The graph that appears in “Detailed

 

 

Information Display” (p. 45) is called the

 

 

histogram. The histogram shows the

 

Low

distribution and amount of brightness of

 

an image. When the graph approaches

 

 

Dark

Bright

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.
