Minolta Dimage A1 - Manual (Page 45)

The display-information button controls what information is displayed with
the live image. Each time the button is pressed, the display cycles to the
next format: standard display, real-time histogram, focus frame, and live
image only.
The real-time histogram shows the approximate luminance distribution of the live image. This his-
togram will not be accurate when the monitor image is amplified (p. 34, 104), or the built-in or a com-
patible Minolta flash unit is used. The histogram of a recorded image may not show the same distri-
bution as the real-time histogram.
