Histogram

The histogram is a graph that allows you to judge the brightness of an image, and you can display it in the p, Tv, Av, and M modes to confirm the brightness while shooting. 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. 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. 75).

Night Display

When shooting in dark conditions, the camera automatically

brightens the LCD monitor or viewfinder to suit the brightness of the subject, making it easier to frame the subject.
