[RGB] Display This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of each primary color's brightness level in the image (RGB or red, green, and blue). The horizontal axis indicates the color's brightness level (darker on the left and brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates how many pixels exist for each color brightness level. The more pixels there are toward the left, the darker and less prominent the color. The more pixels there are toward the right, the brighter and denser the color. If there are too many pixels on the left, the respective color information will be lacking. If there are too many pixels on the right, the color will be too saturated with no gradation. By checking the image's RGB histogram, you can see the color's saturation and gradation condition, as well as white balance inclination. 272

Highlight Alert

When the shooting information is displayed, any overexposed areas of the

image will blink. To obtain more image detail in the overexposed areas, set

the exposure compensation to a negative amount and shoot again.

Histogram

The brightness histogram shows the exposure level distribution and overall

brightness. The RGB histogram is for checking the color saturation and

gradation. The display can be switched with [

[Brightness] Display

This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of

the image’s brightness level. The horizontal axis

indicates the brightness level (darker on the left and

brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates

how many pixels exist for each brightness level. 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

the left, the shadow detail will be lost. If there are too

many pixels on the right, the highlight detail will be

lost. The gradation in-between will be reproduced. By

checking the image and its brightness histogram, you

can see the exposure level inclination and the overall gradation.

[RGB] Display

This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of each primary color’s

brightness level in the image (RGB or red, green, and blue). The horizontal

axis indicates the color’s brightness level (darker on the left and brighter

on the right), while the vertical axis indicates how many pixels exist for

each color brightness level. The more pixels there are toward the left, the

darker and less prominent the color. The more pixels there are toward the

right, the brighter and denser the color. If there are too many pixels on the

left, the respective color information will be lacking. If there are too many

pixels on the right, the color will be too saturated with no gradation. By

checking the image’s RGB histogram, you can see the color’s saturation

and gradation condition, as well as white balance inclination.
