If you turn Highlight On,
overexposed areas of the image
blink.

If you turned Histogram/Info
On, the Histogram and image
information screen appears. A
typical screen is shown.

The Histogram only appears in
Single Image Review mode.

The Histogram shows the range
and distribution of tonal values
for an image. It displays the
number of occurrences of each
pixel code value, and can be
used to assess an image’s
brightness and contrast levels.
Pixel code values represent the
relative value of light intensities
in a scene. They range from 0
(darkest elements in a scene) to
255 (brightest elements in a
scene). For a high contrast
image, the Histogram will
include almost the entire range
of pixel code values. For a low
contrast image, the Histogram
will include a small range of
pixel code values.

To judge exposure, use the
Histogram, not the image
displayed on the Image LCD
panel.

If the Histogram/Info Display
Option is On, quickly press
and release the SELECT
button to toggle between the
Histogram and Single Image
Review mode.
