Basic camera settings
Display options
In addition to the default information set displayed in bars at the
upper and lower edge of the screen, you have a choice of a number
of options to customize the display set during recording and review
modes. These include additional information as well as focusing,
exposure, and composition aids. See also p. 284.
There are three operations involved:
– Switching the displays on or off, thereby determining which of
them can be called up
– Modifying the displays (only available in some cases)
– Calling up the displays
Selecting the functions
1. In the menu's
SETUP section, select Live View, and
2. in the submenu, switch the functions
On or Off.
The display sets thus selected are available in an endless loop by
pressing the
BR button.
The display set selected last in recording and review modes is
always active when switching between them.
If the button function displays are not displayed, pressing the
BR
button also calls them up. They disappear again after a few
seconds.
When
Full Screen is switched On, a full screen image display
without any information whatsoever is available.
Camera Info setting changes the order in which the different
display sets appear when pressing the
BR button.
Histogram and Clipping/Zebra
The histogram depicts the brightness distribution in the picture.
The horizontal axis shows the tone values from black (left) through
gray to white (right). The vertical axis corresponds to the number of
pixels at each brightness level.
This form of representation – together with the impression of the
picture itself – provides an additional quick and easy assessment
of the exposure setting.
The clipping and zebra displays indicate bright areas in a picture
that would be rendered without detail, i.e. overexposed (when
taking the picture) or are recorded this way (when reviewing). The
differences between the two are:
– The clipping display is used for photos, the respective areas
flash in black.
– The zebra display is used for videos, the respective areas are
indicated by a moving black and white stripe pattern.
