Highlight Alert

When the shooting information is displayed, overexposed and clipped

highlights will blink. To obtain a better result for the blinking areas where

you want the gradation to be faithfully reproduced, set the exposure

compensation to a negative amount and shoot again.

Histogram

The brightness histogram shows the exposure level distribution

and overall brightness. The RGB histogram is for checking the

color saturation and gradation. The display can be switched with

[Brightness] Display

This histogram is a graph showing the

distribution of the image’s brightness level. The

horizontal axis indicates the brightness level

(darker on the left and brighter on the right),

while the vertical axis indicates how many pixels

exist for each brightness level. The more pixels

there are toward the left, the darker the image.

The more pixels there are toward the right, the

brighter the image. If there are too many pixels

on the left, the shadow detail will be lost. If there

are too many pixels on the right, the highlight

detail will be lost. The gradation in-between will

be reproduced. By checking the image and its

brightness histogram, you can see the exposure

level inclination and the overall gradation.

Sample Histograms

[RGB] Display

This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of each primary color’s

brightness level in the image (RGB or red, green, and blue). The horizontal

axis indicates the color’s brightness level (darker on the left and brighter

on the right), while the vertical axis indicates how many pixels exist for

each color brightness level. The more pixels there are toward the left, the

darker and less prominent the color. The more pixels there are toward the

right, the brighter and denser the color. If there are too many pixels on the

left, the respective color information will be lacking. If there are too many

pixels on the right, the color will be too saturated with no gradation. By

checking the image’s RGB histogram, you can see the color’s saturation

and gradation condition, as well as white balance inclination.
