The viewfinder can be used to conserve power by turning the LCD

monitor off (p. 12) while shooting.

Histogram Function

The histogram is a graph that allows you to check the brightness

of the image. The greater the bias toward the left in the graph, the

darker the image. The greater the bias toward the right, the

brighter the image.

If the image is too dark, adjust the exposure compensation to a

positive value. Similarly, adjust the exposure compensation to a

negative value if the image is too bright (p. 52).
