Taking pictures/videos
Using the histogram to view picture brightness
Use the histogram to evaluate the distribution of light before or after you take a
picture. Optimal exposure is achieved when the peak is in the middle of the
histogram. The flash may affect a picture’s light and shadow.
In P, A, S, M modes, press the Menu button, then to choose Histogram.
In Review, press Menu button, then to choose Properties.

Know when your batteries need charging

batteries require your attention. Charge the batteries when necessary.
