Date and time Histogram About the Histogram A histogram is a graph indicating the image's brightness. The horizontal axis indicates the brightness level, while the vertical axis indicates how many pixels exist for each brightness level. From left to right on the horizontal axis, the brightness goes from dark to bright. The more pixels there are toward the left, the darker the image. The more pixels there are toward the right, the brighter the image. If there are too many pixels on either side, Sample histogram you can set exposure compensation (→p.92) to take the picture again so that the exposure is more accurate. Dark image Normal image Bright image MENU Highlight Alert When the < > menu's "Highlight alert" is "On" and the display format is set to single image ( ) or image with shooting information ( ), any areas in the image which are overexposed will blink on the LCD monitor even when the image is displayed immediately after capture. Refer to the histogram and apply a decreased exposure compensation amount and take the picture again to obtain a better result. MENU AF Point When the < > menu's "Display AF points" is "On" and the display format is ( ), the AF point used to achieve focus will be shown. (→p.129) If the image was taken in the One-Shot AF mode, the AF point which achieved focus will be shown. If automatic AF point selection was used, you may see multiple AF points which achieved focus. If AI Servo AF was used, the selected AF point will be shown.
