Tone level information You can check for loss of contrast detail in highlights and shadows from the histogram that is displayed, or the flashing display for each tone level. These provide guidelines when adjusting the image brightness with functions such as exposure compensation. 1 Current image number/total number of images Histogram • A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. The horizontal axis 2 corresponds to pixel brightness, with dark tones to the left and bright tones to the right. The vertical axis shows the number of pixels. Tone level • The tone level indicates the brightness level. When the tone 3 level to check is selected using the multi selector or rotating it, the area of the image that corresponds to the selected tone level flashes. 4 ISO sensitivity 189 5 COOLPIX Picture Control ...........177 6 Image quality/Image size 174, 175 7 White balance 181 8 Time of recording 44, 227 9 Date of recording 44, 227 10 File number and type 291 11 Exposure compensation value 117 12 Shooting mode 61 13 Shutter speed 63 14 F-number 63 31 Parts of the camera The monitor/viewfinder
