Advanced (Recording pictures)
∫ Recording guide line
When you align the subject on the horizontal
and vertical guide lines or the cross point of
these lines, you can take pictures with
well-designed composition by viewing the size,
the slope and the balance of the subject.
∫ About the Histogram
A histogram is a graph that displays brightness along the horizontal axis (black to white)
and the number of pixels at each brightness level on the vertical axis.
It allows you to easily check a picture’s exposure.
1 Dark area, mid-tone, and bright area are balanced out evenly, making it suitable to take
a picture.
2 The picture will become underexposed with more dark area. The pictures with mostly
dark area, such as night scenery, will also have a histogram like this.
3 The picture will become overexposed with more bright area. The pictures with mostly
white area will also have a histogram like this.
Examples of histogram
Note
•
When the recorded picture and the histogram do not match each other under the
following conditions, the histogram is displayed in orange.
– When the manual exposure assistance is other than [n0EV] during exposure compensation
or in the manual exposure mode
– When the flash is activated
– In [STARRY SKY] or [FIREWORKS] in scene mode (P62)
– When the flash is closed
• When the brightness of the screen is not correctly displayed in dark places
• When the exposure is not adequately adjusted
• The histogram is an approximation in recording mode.
• The histogram of a picture may not match in recording mode and playback mode.
• The histogram displayed in this camera does not match histograms displayed by picture editing
software used in PCs etc.
A []:This is used when dividing the entire screen into 3k3 for taking pictures with a
well-balanced composition.
B []:This is used when you want to position the subject at the exact center of the
screen.
