∫Recording guide line

When you align the subject on the horizontal and vertical guide lines or the cross point of these lines, you can take pictures with well-designed composition by viewing the size, the slope and the balance of the subject.

A[]: This is used when dividing the entire screen into 3k3 for taking pictures with a well-balanced composition.

B[ ]: This is used when you want to position the subject at the exact center of the screen.

• This is set to [ ] in clipboard mode [ ].

∫Histogram

A histogram is a graph that displays brightness along the horizontal axis (black to white) and the number of pixels at each brightness level on the vertical axis.

It allows you to easily check a picture’s exposure.

•It is very useful if manual adjustments of the lens aperture and shutter speed are available, especially in those situations where automatic exposure may be difficult due to uneven lighting. Using the histogram feature allows you to get the

maximum performance from your camera.

AWhen the values are concentrated on

the left, the picture is under exposed.

BWhen the values are distributed evenly, the exposure is proper and the brightness is well-balanced.

CWhen the values are concentrated on the right, the picture is overexposed.
