are several bright areas in the picture. (Guide) A peak
in the center represents correct brightness (correct
exposure). This can be used as a reference for
exposure correction ( 46), etc.

Histogram in playback and displayed in orange, when recording with flash or in dark
locations. Also, Histogram may differ from Histograms made with image editing
software.
• Not displayed during ([Intelligent Auto] Mode), [Photo Frame] or Playback Zoom.
Guide lines
