About the Histogram The histogram is a graph that allows you to judge the brightness of the recorded image. The greater the bias toward the left in the graph, the darker the image. The greater the bias toward to the right, the brighter the image. If the image is dark, adjust the exposure compensation to a positive number. Similarly, adjust the exposure compensation to a negative number if the image is bright (p. 73). Histogram Examples Dark Image Balanced Image Bright Image Overexposure Warning In detailed display mode, overexposed portions of the image flash. You can use the histogram as a guide to set the exposure compensation to a negative setting and retake the image. The following information may also appear with some image files. An audio file other than a wav file, or a file with an unrecognized format, is attached. A JPEG file not supported by "Design rule for Camera File system" (DCF) standards. A file with an unrecognized format. • Please note that image information recorded by this camera may not display correctly on other cameras and image information recorded by other cameras may not display correctly on this camera. Notice Concerning Shooting When using this camera to shoot scenes containing extremely bright subjects, a vertical, red bar of light may appear on the LCD monitor. It will not be recorded when shooting still photos, but will be recorded when shooting movies. This is a normal occurrence in devices containing CCDs and does not consitute a malfunction.
