* The display will show only the settings currently applied.
The histogram can be displayed when [Exposure simulation] has been
set as explained in step 5 on page 108.
When <g> is displayed in white, it indicates that the Live View image
brightness is close to what the captured image will look like.
If <g> is blinking, it indicates that the Live View image is not being
displayed at the suitable brightness due to low or bright light conditions.
However, the actual image recorded will reflect the exposure setting.
If flash is used or bulb is set, the <g> icon and histogram will be
grayed out (for your reference). The histogram might not be properly
displayed in low light or bright light conditions.
