B: Shooting Information Display
258
About the Highlight Alert
When the shooting information is displayed, any overexposed areas of the
image will blink. To obtain more image detail in the overexposed areas, set
the exposure compensation to a negative amount and shoot again.
About the 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 [
x2: xHistogram disp
].
[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.
[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.
