Changing recording information display
Change between different LCD monitor displays, such as histograms.
Histogram
Displays distribution of brightness in picture
– e.g. if the graph peaks at the right, this means there are
several bright areas in the picture. (Guide) A peak in the center
represents correct brightness (correct exposure). This can be
used as a reference for exposure correction (P.49), etc.

in playback and displayed in orange, when recording with
flash or in dark locations. Also, histogram may differ from
histograms made with image editing software.
