A high 230,000 pixel resolution is teamed with Clear Photo LCD Plus technology to reproduce subtle tones accurately. The screen’s Anti- Reflective Coating is

TECHNICAL POINT

Histogram, Highlights and Shadow Alert

The histogram shows the distribution of brightness in a graph on the camera’s display screen. The horizontal axis shows the brightness reproducible with the digital camera (tone), and the vertical axis shows the amount of brightness. The far left side of the horizontal axis shows the darkest part (shadow) that can be reproduced, while the far right side shows the brightest part (highlight). A histogram that’s shifted to the right side is an indication of many light areas in the image. If it’s shifted to the left, the histogram indicates more dark areas in the scene.

Highlights and Shadow Alert

Highlighting is occurring on the bright parts of the shirt, and shadowing in the dark part at the upper right side of the screen. Out of range sections are displayed flashing on the screen to warn of highlighting and shadowing.

An over-exposed picture will be represented by large areas of blank space displayed on the left side of the histogram. Conversely, with an under-exposed image there will be blank space at the right side of the histogram.

In addition, areas of the image that are outside dynamic range – either under or over exposed – will blink to provide a warning in the main image display.
