Using the histogram to view picture brightness

Use the histogram to evaluate the distribution of light before or after you take a
picture. Optimal exposure is achieved when the peak is in the middle of the
histogram. The flash may affect a picture’s light and shadow.

In P, A, S, M modes, press the Menu

button, then

to choose Histogram.

In Review, press Menu

button, then

to choose Properties.

Understanding the picture-taking icons

Know when your batteries need charging

The battery level icon works like the gas gauge in your car, but appears only when the
batteries require your attention. Charge the batteries when necessary.
