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

●The graph that appears in “Detailed Information Display” (p. 45) is called the histogram. The histogram shows the distribution and amount of brightness of an image. When the graph approaches 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.
The histogram can also be displayed while shooting (p. 148).
Indicators
The indicator on the back of the camera and the power lamp (p. 43) will light or blink depending on the camera’s status.
Lamp | Status | Camera Status |
| Lights orange | Shooting mode (p. 24) |
Power Lamp | Lights green | |
| Lights yellow | Connected to a computer (p. 36) |
Indicator | Blinks red | Recording/reading/transmitting image data (p. 25) |
When the indicator blinks red, data is being recorded/read or various information is being transmitted. Do not turn off the power, open the memory card slot/battery cover, shake or jolt the camera. These actions may corrupt the image data or cause the camera or memory card to malfunction.
