Understanding Color Balance
Distribution of color intensity is displayed for each color in RGB Histogram
Display. If a color is partially cut off on one side, it indicates that the color
is under- or overexposed, that the light is very weak or strong in that color,
or that the white balance is incorrect.

• The image on the monitor may differ from the actual image captured if the
brightness of the subject is low or high.
• If any changes occur in the light source during shooting, the image on the
monitor may flicker. You can cut down on flicker by setting the power
frequency in [Flicker Reduction] (p.184) of the [R Set-up 1] menu to that
used in your region.
• If the camera position is changed rapidly during shooting, the image may not
be displayed with the appropriate brightness. Wait for the display to become
stable before shooting.
• Noise may appear on the monitor image when used in dark locations.
• The higher the sensitivity, the more noise and color unevenness may occur in
the monitor image and/or captured image.
• If you continue shooting for a prolonged period, the internal temperature of
the camera may increase, resulting in lower quality images. It is
recommended that you turn off the camera when not shooting. To prevent the
image quality from degrading, allow enough time for the camera to cool down
while shooting with long exposures or recording movies.
• If the internal temperature of the camera becomes high, l (temperature
warning) will appear on the monitor. If this happens, stop shooting or turn off
the monitor. If you continue shooting with the temperature warning displayed,
the camera will turn off.
