Histogram Function
The histogram is a graph that allows you to check the brightness of an image. You can also display the histogram in the 
, 
, 
and 
modes to check 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. 83).
Sample Histograms
Dark Image | Balanced Image | Bright Image |
You can change the shutter speed, aperture value and ISO speed to adjust the brightness of an image in the 
mode.
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.
*Although noise may appear and the movement of the subject shown on the LCD monitor or viewfinder may appear somewhat jagged, there is no effect on the recorded image. The brightness of the image displayed in the monitor, and the brightness of the actual image recorded will be different.
