ª Recording guide line
You can achieve balanced pictures by
aligning the subject on the cross point of
the horizontal and vertical guide lines.
You can also take pictures easily by
adjusting the horizon to the guide line.
You can take pictures with
well-designed composition by viewing
the size and the balance of subjects.
ª About the Histogram
(DMC-LC70 Only)
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.
Example of histogram
A Under Exposed
B Properly Exposed
C 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 in the recording mode
is an approximation.
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.
