Basic Functions

z After you take a photo by fully pressing the shutter button, the image displays on the LCD monitor for approximately 3 seconds (or the review duration you set from 3 to 10 seconds). If you press the SET button while the image is displayed, it will continue to display (p. 34).

z While a recorded image is displayed on the LCD monitor, you can check the exposure with the graph (See About the Histogram). It shows the distribution of the brightness data. If the exposure requires adjustment, set the exposure compensation and re-shoot (Press the DISP. button if the histogram and other information is not shown.).

z Please note that image information recorded by this camera may not display correctly on other cameras and image information recorded by other cameras may not display correctly on this camera.

About the Histogram

The histogram is a graph that allows you to judge the brightness of the shot image. The greater the bias toward the left in the graph, the darker the image. The greater the bias toward to the right, the brighter the image. If the image is too dark, adjust the exposure compensation to a positive value. Similarly, adjust the exposure compensation to a negative value if the image is too bright (p. 65).
