■About guide line display

When you align the subject on the 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.

■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 the camera user to easily check the way a picture is being exposed.

•When the values in the histogram are distributed evenly A, the exposure is adequate and the brightness is well- balanced.

•When the values are concentrated to the left B, the picture is under exposed. Pictures that are mostly black, such as night scenery, forms this type of histogram.

•When the values are concentrated to the right C, the picture is over exposed. Pictures that are mostly white, form this type of histogram.
