OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

•An RGB histogram that shows the distribution of R (red), G (green), and B (blue) components is also displayed. This histogram can be used to determine whether there is too much or too little of each of the color components in an image.

NOTE

•You can use key customization (page 137) to

configure the camera to perform exposure compensation whenever you press [￿] or [￿] while in a REC mode. If you do this, you can adjust exposure compensation while viewing the on-screen histogram (page 88).

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

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

•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.
