Exposure button

Color Info button
Use the exposure-level indicator to get a rough idea of how bright your
picture is. Ideally, it should be near the top of the green area, but without
entering into the red area, which indicates an overexposure. The indicator
turns yellow to indicate a probably bad exposure and turns white to
indicate a good exposure. Only the part of the image that is inside of your
crop area is measured by this tool, which means that the measurement
will change when you modify the crop area.
The various pixel value displays give you the f-stop and/or color values
for the pixel currently under the mouse pointer in the preview. Use this
tool to evaluate the exposure in particular areas of the captured image.
When you are shooting in RGB mode, then you can read values for each of
the three colors and the f-stop brightness, as shown above. However, if
you are shooting to CMYK, then CMYK pixel values are shown, and no
f-stop value appears. Use the Color Info window to read CMYK and
f-stop values simultaneously (see below).
The Neutralize color picker helps you to obtain a neutral color balance in
your image (see "Neutralizing Colors" on page 98 for details).
Next to the information displays are two buttons, which will open
windows that give you even more information and control. These are:
