Information Displayed on the Screen
Display for Shooting 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. Noise may appear and the movement of the subject on the screen may appear somewhat jagged. 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 and amount of brightness of |
Dark | Bright | an image. 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 check the exposure.
