Recording guide line
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.
Set the position of the guide line with [ ]
Set the [GUIDE LINE] in the [CUSTOM] menu to [ ]. (P136)
Touch [ ] above the guide line, and drag it to the position
you want to move it to (P15).
You can also set the position of the guide line with 3/4/2/1 in the
Quick Menu (P34) while in button operation or [CUSTOM] menu.
When it is difficult to move the guide line on the screen edge by touch
operation, use 3/4/2/1 to set the position.
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 you to easily check a picture’s exposure.
Examples of histogram
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.
C []:Position of the guide line can be set. It is used to take well balanced pictures of
subjects off the center of the image.
