Confirming the exposure when the monitor is difficult to see outdoors

The monitor may be difficult to see and the exposure difficult to confirm when shooting
outdoors.
Press g/E repeatedly to display the histogram
• Set the exposure so that the graph is concentrated on the outer edges and the graph is
balanced on both sides.
How to read the histogram
1 If the peak fills too much of the frame, the image will appear
mostly black.
2 If the peak fills too much of the frame, the image will appear
mostly white.
3 The part indicated in green in the histogram shows the luminance
distribution within the AF target mark.
