OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS I Audio Recording Precautions • Take care that you do not block the microphone with your fingers. Using the Histogram You can use [DISP] to display a histogram on the monitor screen (page 33). The histogram lets you check exposure conditions as you record images. You can also display the histogram of a recorded image in the PLAY mode. Microphone • Good recording results are not possible when the camera is too far from the subject. • Pressing the power button or pressing [ ] (PLAY) stops recording and stores any audio recorded up to that point. • You can also perform "after-recording" to add audio to a snapshot after recording it, and also change the audio recorded for an image. See page 177 for more information. Histogram • A histogram is a graph that represents the lightness of an image in terms of the number of pixels. The vertical axis indicates the number of pixels, while the horizontal axis indicates lightness. You can use the histogram to determine whether an image includes the shadowing (left side), mid tones (center), and highlighting (right) required to bring out sufficient image detail. If the histogram appears too lopsided for some reason, you can use EV shift (exposure compensation) to move it left or right in order to achieve better balance. Optimum exposure can be achieved by correcting exposure so the graph is as close to the center as possible. 134
