Canon Sx200 Is Indicator, Display in Dark Conditions during Shooting, Histogram during Playback

Information Displayed on the Screen

Display 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. Screen noise may appear and the movement of the subject may appear somewhat jagged on the screen. This has no effect on the recorded image.

Overexposure Warning during Playback

In “Detailed Information Display” (p. 45), overexposed areas of the image flash on the screen.

Histogram during Playback
	High	● The graph that appears in “Detailed
		Information Display” (p. 45) is called the
		histogram. The histogram shows the
	Low	distribution and amount of brightness of
		an image. When the graph approaches
Dark	Bright	the right side, the image is bright, but
		when it approaches the left side, the
		image is dark, and in this way you can
		judge the exposure.
