Notes
• The histogram displayed in Live View mode does not indicate the final recorded
image. It indicates the condition of the image just monitored on the LCD monitor.
The histogram will differ based on aperture setting, etc.
• The histogram differs between shooting and playback in the following situations:
– When firing the flash.
– When the subject has low intensity, such as night scenery.
When shooting with the flash, you can adjust the amount of flash light
alone, without changing the exposure compensation. You can only change
the exposure of a main subject which is within the flash range.

: Makes the flash level higher.
Toward –: Makes the flash level lower.
The exposure compensation will change
the histogram accordingly. The right
illustration is an example.
Shooting with the exposure
compensation on the positive side
brightens the whole picture, making the
entire histogram shift to the bright side
(right side). If the exposure compensation
is applied on the negative side, the
histogram will shift to the other side.
Both ends of the histogram show a high-
key or low-key portion. It is impossible to
restore these area with a computer later.
Adjust the exposure if necessary and
shoot again.
