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.
