Canon 210 manual Indicator, Screen Display in Dark Shooting Conditions, Histogram during Playback

Indicator

Screen Display in Dark Shooting Conditions

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. 43), overexposed areas of the image flash on the screen.

Histogram during Playback

	High	● The graph that appears in “Detailed
		Information Display” (p. 43) is called the
		histogram. The histogram shows the
	Low	distribution of brightness in an image
		horizontally, and the amount of brightness
Dark	Bright	vertically. 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.

Indicator

The indicator on the top of the camera (p. 42) will light or blink depending on the camera’s status.
