Histogram during Playback
z
The graph that appears in Detailed
Information Display (p. 186) is called the
histogram. The histogram shows the
distribution of brightness in an image
horizontally, and the amount of brightness
vertically. When the graph approaches the
right side, the image is bright, but when it
approaches the left side, the image is dark,
and in this way you can judge the exposure.
GPS Information Display
z
If you press the
o
button in Detailed
Information Display, you can check the
location information (latitude, longitude,
elevation) and shooting date recorded to
still images and movies (p. 104) when
[GPS] is set to [On].
The displayed contents, from top to bottom,
are latitude, longitude, elevation and UTC.
The indicator on the back of the camera (p. 43) will light or blink depending
on the camera’s status.
