Indicator

Screen Display in Low Light Conditions

The display automatically brightens when shooting in low light 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 rough on the screen. This has no effect on the recorded image.

zThe graph that appears in Detailed Information Display (p. 176) is called the histogram. The histogram shows the distribution of brightness in an image horizontally, and the amount of brightness vertically, and in this way you can judge the exposure.
