Before Using Your Camera1 Histogram Display
The following histograms can be displayed when playing back still 
pictures. The “Brightness histogram” shows the distribution of brightness 
and the “RGB histogram” shows the distribution of color intensity. Press 
the four-way controller (23) to switch between “Brightness histogram” 
and “RGB histogram”.
* Indicator 2 appears only for protected images.
* Indicator 4 appears only when the file format of the last captured image is 
JPEG, and its data still remains in the buffer memory. (p.83) 1Histogram (Brightness)7Shutter speed

A histogram shows the brightness 
distribution of an image. The horizontal 
axis represents brightness (dark at the 
left and bright at the right) and the vertical 
axis represents the number of pixels.
The shape and the distribution of the 
histogram before and after shooting 
tells you whether the exposure level 
and contrast are correct or not, and lets 
you decide if you need to adjust the 
exposure and take a picture again.
1 Adjusting the Exposure (p.117)
1 Adjusting Brightness (p.207)
Understanding Brightness
When the brightness is correct and there are no overly bright or dark 
areas, the graph peaks in the middle. If the image is too dark, the peak is 
on the left side, and if it is too bright, the peak is on the right side.
When the image is too dark, the part to the left is cut off (dark portions with 
no detail) and when the image is too bright, the part to the right is cut off 
(bright portions with no detail).
Bright portions blink red and dark portions blink yellow on the monitor 
when [Bright/Dark Area] is O (On).

1 Setting the Playback Display Method (p.222)
1 Setting the Display for Instant Review (p.276)
Understanding Color Balance
Distribution of color intensity is displayed for each color in the RGB histogram. 
The right side of the graphs look similar for images that have White Balance 
adjusted well. If only one color is lopsided to the left, that color is too intense.
