About the Histogram (DMC-LC80/DMC-LC70)
•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 the camera user to easily check the way a picture is being exposed.
•When the values are concentrated to the left as A, the picture is under exposed.
•When the values in the histogram are distributed as B, the exposure is adequate and the brightness is
•When the values are concentrated to the right as C, the picture is over exposed.

¬Suggestions/Tips ¬
•When the photo flash is activated or when you record pictures in dark places, the histogram turns yellow because the recorded picture and the histogram do not match each other.
•The histogram in the recording mode is an approximation.
•The histogram does not appear when
in Motion image mode [ ], during multi playback and playback zoom.
•The histogram in recording and playback may not match each other.
•The histogram in this camera does not match the one displayed in image editing software on PC, etc.
