About the Histogram
• A histogram is a graph that displays brightness along the horizontal axis (black to
white) and the number of pixels at each brightness level on the vertical axis.
• It allows the camera user to easily check the way a picture is being exposed.
• When the values are concentrated to
the left as A, the picture is under
exposed.
• When the values in the histogram are
distributed as B, the exposure is
adequate and the brightness is
well-balanced.
• When the values are concentrated to
the right as C, the picture is over
exposed.

Suggestions/Tips
¬
• When the photo flash is activated or
when you record pictures in dark
places, the histogram turns yellow
because the recorded picture and
the histogram do not match each
other.
• The histogram does not appear when
in Motion image mode [ ], during
multi playback and playback zoom.
• The histogram in recording and
playback may not match each other.
• The histogram in this camera does not
match the one displayed in image
editing software on PC, etc.
• The histogram in the recording mode
is an approximation.
