Histogram

are several bright areas in the picture. (Guide) A peak
in the centre represents correct brightness (correct
exposure) (P.43).

orange, when recording with flash or in dark locations. Also, histogram may differ from
histograms made with image editing software.
• Histograms cannot be displayed in (INTELLIGENT AUTO mode), (MOTION
PICTURE mode), (CLIPBOARD mode), or during playback zoom.
