∫ Recording guide lines
When you align the subject on the
horizontal and vertical guide lines or the
cross point of these lines, you can take
pictures with well-designed composition by
viewing the size, the slope and the balance
of the subject.
A[]:This is used when dividing the
entire screen into 3k3 for taking
pictures with a well-balanced
composition.
B[]:This is used when you want to
position the subject at the exact
center of the screen.
∫ Histogram
• A histogram is a graph that displays
brightness along the horizontal axis and
the number of pixels at each brightness
level on the vertical axis.
• It allows you to easily check a picture’s
exposure.
A When the values are concentrated on
the left, the picture is under exposed.
B When the values are distributed evenly,
the exposure is proper and the
brightness is well-balanced.
C When the values are concentrated on
the right, the picture is over exposed.
Example of histograms
A Under Exposed
B Properly Exposed
C Over Exposed
¢Histogram
• When you take pictures with the flash
or in dark places, the histogram is
displayed in orange because the
recorded picture and the histogram do
not match each other.
• The histogram is an approximation in
recording mode.
• The histogram of a picture may not match
in recording mode and playback mode.
• The histogram displayed in this camera
does not match histograms displayed by
picture editing software used in PCs etc.
• The histogram does not appear in simple
mode [ ] or motion picture mode [ ]
and during multi playback or calendar
playback and playback zoom.
