Framing Outline

Enable [FRAMING OUTLINE] to make the borders of the frame easier to see against dark backgrounds.

Histograms

Histograms show the distribution of tones in the image. Brightness is shown by the horizontal axis, the number of pixels by the vertical axis.

Number of pixels

  
Shadows Pixel brightness Highlights

  • Optimal exposure: Pixels are distributed in an even curve throughout the tone range.

  • Overexposed: Pixels are clustered on the right side of the graph.

  • Underexposed: Pixels are clustered on the left side of the graph.

To view separate RGB histograms and a display showing areas of the frame that will be overexposed at current settings superimposed on the view through the lens, press the function button to which [HISTOGRAM] is assigned(a[FUNCTION (Fn) SETTING], Assigning Roles to the Function Buttons).
