Confirm the effective level of the photographed image from image distribution (with a histogram).
The
using the (exposure start button), histograms are automatically displayed.
This histogram indicates the distribution of brightness of each R, G and B color, and can be used for fine adjustment of the exposure level.
•The horizontal axis indicates the color brightness: increasingly darker toward the left and brighter toward the right.
•The vertical axis indicates the frequency of occurrence, which is normalized by the maximum value.
•The average histogram values of each color are shown in numeric form at the right edge, and shown by levels at the bottom.
How to read and set exposure levelsIf the brightness distribution is concentrated on the right edge of the histogram, it means that the highlighted parts of the screen are saturated. Conversely, if the brightness distribution concentrates on the left edge of the histogram, it means that the
Although it is ideal if no parts on the screen are saturated or blacked out, exposure may have to be adjusted depending on the subject.
If an area of interest on the screen is highlighted, adjust the exposure so that the distribution will be shifted toward the left. If an area of interest is
Knowing the exact level of exposure that is needed while you adjust the exposure will help to prevent insufficient gradation during image processing.
