Indicator - Canon POWERSHOT 1000 HS User Manual

Screen Display in Dark Shooting Conditions
The display automatically brightens when shooting in dark conditions,
allowing you to check the composition (Night Display function). However, the
brightness of the image on the screen, and the brightness of the actual image
recorded may be different. Screen noise may appear and the movement of
the subject may appear somewhat jagged on the screen. This has no effect
on the recorded image.
Overexposure Warning during Playback
In "Detailed Information Display" (p. 44), overexposed areas of the image
flash on the screen.

actions may corrupt the image data or cause the camera or memory card
to malfunction.

The graph that appears in "Detailed

horizontally, and the amount of brightness

right side, the image is bright, but when it
approaches the left side, the image is dark,
and in this way you can judge the
exposure.
