•If you compensate the exposure to minus, refer to the histogram and then take a picture again, it may result in a good picture.

•When taking a picture with the flash on and the subject too close, white saturation may occur. When highlight display is set to [ON], white saturation emerges in places illuminated with the flash as shown below. The saturated areas appear blinking in black and white.

nHistogram

•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 A, the picture is under exposed. Pictures that are mostly black, such as night scenery, forms this type of histogram.

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

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