Canon IXUS 230 HS - Manual (Page 43)

Indicator
43
Screen Display in Low Light Conditions
The display automatically brightens when shooting in low light conditions,
allowing you to check the composition (Night Display function). However, the
brightness of the image on the screen, and the brightness of the actual image
recorded may be different. Screen noise may appear and the movement of
the subject may appear somewhat rough on the screen. This has no effect on
the recorded image.
Overexposure Warning during Playback
In Detailed Information Display (p. 42), overexposed areas of the image flash
on the screen.
Histogram during Playback
z The graph that appears in Detailed
Information Display (p. 186) is called the
histogram. The histogram shows the
distribution of brightness in an image
horizontally, and the amount of brightness
vertically, and in this way you can judge
the exposure.
The indicator on the back of the camera (p. 41) will light or blink depending
on the camera’s status.
