Histogram display
A histogram shows the luminance distribution, displaying how many pixels there are by luminance. It shows darker
toward the left and brighter toward the right.
The histogram changes depending on the exposure compensation.
A peak at the right or left end of the histogram indicates that the image has an overexposed or underexposed area,
respectively. You cannot correct such defects using a computer after shooting. Perform exposure compensation before
shooting as necessary.
(A)
: Pixel count
(B)

Note
The viewfinder display and the monitor display for shooting can be set separately. Look through the viewfinder to set the display
settings for the viewfinder.
