Folder and File Numbers
Photographs are stored as files with names containing a four-digit
number between 0001 and 9999 assigned automatically in ascending
order by the camera. These in turn are stored in folders containing up
to 999 images. A new folder is created automatically file numbering
reaches 9999 or the number of images in the current folder reaches
999.

Histograms (0 116)
Camera histograms are intended only as a guide and may differ from
those in imaging applications. Sample histograms are shown below:
• If brightness varies evenly across the
image, the distribution of tones
will be relatively even.
• If the image is dark, tone distribu-
tion will be shifted to the left.
• If the image is bright, tone distribu-
tion will be shifted to the right.
I
Exposure compensation shifts the distribution of tones to the right
when raised, to the left when lowered. Histograms can give you a
rough idea of overall exposure when bright ambient lighting makes it
difficult to see the display in the monitor.
