Using the On-screen Histogram to Check Exposure
Displays a histogram on the monitor screen which you
can use to check the exposure of an image before you
shoot it. You also can display the histogram in the PLAY
mode for information about the exposure levels of
images.
• You can use key customization (page 66) to configure
the [4] and [6] buttons so they control the EV shift
setting (page 70), and perform EV shift while viewing
the results on the on-screen histogram.
NOTE
• A centered histogram does not necessarily guarantee optimum exposure. The
recorded image may be over-exposed or under-exposed, even though its
histogram is centered.
• Due to the limitations of exposure compensation, you may not be able to achieve
an optimum histogram configuration.
• Use of the flash and certain shooting conditions can cause the histogram to
indicate exposure that is different from the actual exposure of the image when it is
shot.
