# Caution
During sequential shooting, face detection will work only at the fi rst shot.
Depending on the subject, the camera may not be able to correctly detect the face.
If [M (SINGLE TARGET)] is chosen for AF target selection, the camera will focus
on the subject in the selected focus target.
In metering modes other than [G (Digital ESP metering)], the camera will meter
exposure for the selected position.
Switching the information display
You can switch the information displayed on the monitor by pressing INFO button
repeatedly.

Histograms
Histograms show how pixels of different brightnesses
are distributed and are used as a guide to exposure.
The horizontal axis shows brightness, the vertical axis
the number of pixels of each brightness in the image.
Brightnesses that exceed a specifi ed upper limit are
shown in red, those under a specifi ed lower limit in blue.
The green portion shows the distribution in the spot
metering area.
