AFolder and File Numbers

Photographs are stored as files with names containing a four-digit number between 0001 and 9999 assigned automatically in ascending order by the camera. These in turn are stored in folders containing up to 999 images. A new folder is created automatically when file numbering reaches 9999 or the number of images in the current folder reaches 999.

AHistograms (086)

Camera histograms are intended only as a guide and may differ from those in imaging applications. Sample histograms are shown below:

• If brightness varies evenly across the

 

image, the distribution of tones

 

will be relatively even.

 

• If the image is dark, tone distribu-

I

tion will be shifted to the left.

•If the image is bright, tone distribu- tion will be shifted to the right.

Exposure compensation shifts the distribution of tones to the right when raised, to the left when lowered. Histograms can give you a rough idea of overall exposure when bright ambient lighting makes it difficult to see the display in the monitor.
