Screen Display in Dark Shooting Conditions
The display automatically brightens when shooting in dark 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 jagged on the screen. This has no effect on the recorded image.
Overexposure Warning during Playback
In “Detailed Information Display” (pp. 44, 165), overexposed areas of the
image flash on the screen.
Histogram during Playback
The graph that appears in “Detailed
Information Display”
(pp.
44
,
165
)
is called
the histogram. The histogram shows the
distribution of brightness in an image
horizontally, and the amount of brightness
vertically. When the graph approaches the
right side, the image is bright, but when it
approaches the left side, the image is dark,
and in this way you can judge the exposure.
The indicator on the back of the camera (p. 43) will light or blink depending
on the camera’s status.
