B: Shooting Information Display
About the Highlight Alert
When [33: Highlight alert] is set to [Enable], overexposed highlight areas will blink. To obtain more image detail in the overexposed areas, set the exposure compensation to a negative amount and shoot again.
About the AF Point Display
When [33: AF point disp.] is set to [Enable], the AF point that achieved focus will be displayed in red. If automatic AF point selection was used, multiple AF points may be displayed in red.
About the Histogram
The brightness histogram shows the exposure level distribution and overall brightness. The RGB histogram is for checking the color saturation and gradation. The display can be switched with [33: Histogram disp].
[Brightness] Display
This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of the image’s brightness level. The horizontal axis indicates the brightness level (darker on the left and brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates how many pixels exist for each brightness level. The more pixels there are toward the left, the darker the image. The more pixels there are toward the right, the brighter the image. If there are too many pixels on the left, the shadow detail will be lost. If there are too many pixels on the right, the highlight detail will be lost. The gradation in- between will be reproduced. By checking the image and its brightness histogram, you can see the exposure level inclination and the overall gradation.
