z Overexposure Warning

In the following cases, overexposed portions of the image blink.

-When reviewing an image right after shooting in the LCD monitor (Detailed)

-When using the Detailed Display mode of the Playback mode

The histogram is a graph that allows you to check the brightness of the image. The greater the bias toward the left in the graph, the darker the image. The greater the bias toward the right, the brighter the image.

Use the exposure compensation function to adjust the brightness of the image while shooting (p. 95).
