Power Saving Function (Auto Power Down)
The graph that appears in "Detailed
Information Display" (p. 44) is called the
histogram. The histogram shows the
distribution of brightness in an image
horizontally, and the amount of brightness
vertically. When the graph approaches the
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.
