Histogram
Shows you the distribution of brightness in recorded images. Checking the
histogram will enable more precise exposure control for subsequent shots.
Record mode is also displayed.
How to use the histogram display
The histogram display enables you to check the
brightest highlights and darkest shadows which
may result in a poor image. If the bars in the
histogram are higher towards the right, the image
may be too bright. If the bars are higher on the
left, the image may be too dark. Compensate the
exposure or shoot again.
