Configuring Monitor Screen Settings You can turn display information on and off by pressing [8] (DISP). You can configure separate settings for the REC mode and PLAY mode. Show +Histogram Displays information about image settings, etc. Turns on display of camera setting and other indicators, along with a histogram (page 106) Hide No information displayed Histogram Using the On-screen Histogram to Check Exposure (+Histogram) Displays a histogram on the monitor screen which you can use to check the exposure of an image before you shoot it. You also can display the histogram in the PLAY mode for information about the exposure levels of images. • You can use key customization (page 54) to configure the [4] and [6] buttons so they control the EV shift setting (page 33), and perform EV shift while viewing the results on the on-screen histogram. Histogram NOTE • A centered histogram does not necessarily guarantee optimum exposure. The recorded image may be over-exposed or under-exposed, even though its histogram is centered. • Due to the limitations of exposure compensation, you may not be able to achieve an optimum histogram configuration. • Use of the flash and certain shooting conditions can cause the histogram to indicate exposure that is different from the actual exposure of the image when it is shot.
