Using the histogram to view picture brightness

Use the histogram to evaluate the distribution of light before or after you take a picture. If the peak is to the right of the graph, the subject is bright; if it’s to the left, the subject is dark. Optimal exposure is achieved when the peak is in the middle of the histogram. The flash may affect a picture’s light and shadow.

To turn on the histogram in Capture mode or in

Review, press the Display button () until the histogram appears.

Using the framing grid to compose a picture

The framing grid divides the LCD into thirds—vertically and horizontally. This is helpful if, for example, you want to balance a picture between water, earth, and sky.

To turn on the framing grid in Auto/SCN mode,

press the Display button () until the grid appears.
