While you are taking still pictures or playing them back, you can display a
histogram on the monitor that shows the brightness and contrast of your
subject. You can also display the darkest shadows and brightest highlights
directly on the image.
Checking the histogram during shooting enables more precise exposure
control. During playback, you can check the brightness and contrast of
recorded pictures.
The histogram display can be set separately for shooting mode and playback
mode.
