Adjusting the Viewfinder Screen Display in Low Light Conditions The display automatically brightens when shooting in low light conditions, allowing you to check the composition (Night Display function). However, the brightness of the image on the screen, and the brightness of the actual image recorded may be different. Screen noise may appear and the movement of the subject may appear somewhat rough on the screen. This has no effect on the recorded image. Overexposure Warning during Playback In Detailed Information Display (p. 40), overexposed areas of the image flash on the screen. Histogram during Playback High z The graph that appears in Detailed Information Display (p. 194) is called the histogram.
