Reading the Histogram Display
When viewing still images you can
display the histogram and the icons of all
the functions used at the time of
recording. Use the histogram as a
reference to verify the correct exposure of
the still image.
The area to the right of the histogram
represents highlights and the left side
represents shadows. A still image whose
histogram skews to the right is relatively
bright; while one whose histogram peaks
to the left, is relatively dark.
NOTES
The histogram display will appear also after
recording a still image while reviewing it within
the time set for the [REVIEW] option (or
immediately after recording it, if [REVIEW] is set
to [ OFF]).
Flash
You can use the built-in flash for
recording still images in dark places. The
flash features the red-eye reduction
function.
POINTS TO CHECK
Select a recording program other than
[ FIREWORKS].
