OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

•When the histogram is too far to the right, it means that there are too many light pixels.

This type of histogram results when the overall image is light. A histogram that is too far to the right may result in “white out” of the light areas of an image.

•A centered histogram indicates that there is good distribution of light pixels and dark pixels. This type of histogram results when the overall image is at optimal lightness.

IMPORTANT!

•Note that the above histograms are shown for illustrative purposes only. You may not be able to achieve exactly the same shapes for particular subjects.

•A centered histogram does not necessarily guarantee optimum exposure. The recorded image may be over-exposed or under-exposed, even though its histogram is centered.

•You may not be able to achieve an optimum histogram configuration due to the limitations of EV shift.

•Use of the flash as well as certain shooting conditions can cause the histogram to indicate exposure that is different from the actual exposure of the image when it was recorded.

•The RGB (color component) histogram is displayed for snapshots only. In the Movie mode, only the luminance distribution histogram appears on the monitor screen.
