Using the On-screen Histogram to Check Exposure (+Histogram)

Displays a histogram on the monitor screen which you can use to check the exposure of an image before you shoot it. You also can display the histogram in the PLAY mode for information about the exposure levels of images.

• You can use key customization (page 64) to configure

the [4] and [6] buttons so they control the EV shift

setting (page 41), and perform EV shift while viewing Histogram the results on the on-screen histogram.

NOTE

•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.

•Due to the limitations of exposure compensation, you may not be able to achieve an optimum histogram configuration.

•Use of the flash and certain shooting conditions can cause the histogram to indicate exposure that is different from the actual exposure of the image when it is shot.

•The histogram cannot be displayed while using face recognition (page 32).
