∫Recording guideline
When you align the subject on the horizontal 
and vertical guidelines 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 bri ghtness level on the vertical axis.
It allows you to easily  check a picture’s exposure.
Examples of histogram
Note
•
When you take pictures with the flash or in dark places, the histogram is displayed in 
orange because the recorded picture and the histogram do not match each other.
•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.
•Histograms are not displayed in the following cases.–Intelligent Auto Mode–Multi Playback–Motion Picture Mode–Playback Zoom–Clipboard Mode–Calendar–[PHOTO FRAME] in Scene Mode
A
[]: This is used when dividing the entire screen into 3 k3 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.

phenomenon (eyes of the subject appearing red in the picture) and then 
activated again for the actual recording.

background.

¢1 It may vary depending on the [MIN. SHTR SPEED]  setting  (P102).
¢ 2 When Intelligent ISO is set  (P94)
•¢2: The shutter speed becomes a maximum of 1 second in the following cases.–When the Optical Image Stabilizer is set to [OFF].–When the camera has determined that there is  jitter when the Optical Image Stabilizer is set 
to [MODE1], [MODE2] or [AUTO].
•In Intelligent Auto Mode, shutter speed changes depending on the identified scene.•In Scene Mode, shutter speed will be different from the above table.
Note
•If you bring the flash too close to an object, the object may be distorted or discolored by the 
heat or lighting from the flash.
•When you take a picture beyond the available flash range, the exposure may not be adjusted 
properly and the picture may become too bright or too dark.
•When the flash is being charged, the flash icon blinks red, and you cannot take a picture even 
when you press the shutter button fully.  When [AUTO LCD OFF] is set, the LCD monitor 
turns off and the status indicator lights.
•The white balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient for the subject.•When the shutter speed is fast, the flash effect may not be sufficient.•It may take time to charge the flash if you are taking pictures in quick succession. Take a 
picture after the access indication disappears.
•The Red-Eye Reduction effect differs between peopl e. Also, if the subject is far away from the 
camera or was not looking at the first flash, the effect may not be evident.
