Histogram display
Display a histogram showing the distribution of brightness in the image. The horizontal axis
gives the brightness, the vertical axis the number of pixels of each brightness in the image.
Areas above the upper limit at shooting are displayed in red, those below the lower limit in
blue, and the area metered using spot metering in green.
Level gauge display
Indicate the orientation of the camera. The “tilt” direction is indicated on the vertical bar and
the “horizon” direction on the horizontal bar. Use the indicators on the level gauge as a guide.
