      REFERENCE
      • Overexposure Warning (for Image Highlights)
      Washed-out highlights in the image flash on the screen in detailed information display.
      • Histogram
      The graph in detailed information display is a histogram showing the distribution of brightness in the image. The horizontal axis represents the degree of brightness, and the vertical axis, how much of the image is at each level of brightness. Viewing the histogram is a way to check exposure.
      The histogram can also be accessed while shooting.
      • RGB Histogram
      To view an RGB histogram, press the Up <directional button> button in detailed information display. The RGB histogram shows the distribution of shades of red, green, and blue in an image. The horizontal axis represents R, G, or B brightness, and the vertical axis, how much of the image is at that level of brightness. Viewing this histogram enables you to check image color characteristics.
      Press the Up <directional button> again to return to detailed information display.
