DISPLAY-INFORMATION BUTTON - CHANGING THE DISPLAY

The display-information button controls what information is displayed with the live image. Each time the button is pressed, the display cycles to the next format: standard display, real-time histogram, focus frame, and live image only.

Standard display

Real-time histogram

Focus frame only

Live image only

The real-time histogram shows the approximate luminance distribution of the live image. This his- togram will not be accurate when the monitor image is amplified (p. 34, 104), or the built-in or a com- patible Minolta flash unit is used. The histogram of a recorded image may not show the same distri- bution as the real-time histogram.

To display a grid or scale over

 

the display formats, press and

 

hold the function button (1)

 

and press the display-informa-

 

tion button to cycle through

 

the options: grid, scale, and
