B: Shooting Information Display

 Histogram

The brightness histogram shows the exposure level distribution and

overall brightness. The RGB histogram is for checking the color

saturation and gradation. The display can be switched with [33:

Histogram disp].

 [Brightness] display

This histogram is a graph showing the

distribution of the image’s brightness level. The

horizontal axis indicates the brightness level

(darker on the left and brighter on the right)

while the vertical axis indicates how many

pixels exist for each brightness level. The more

pixels there are toward the left, the darker the

image. The more pixels there are toward the

right, the brighter the image. If there are too

many pixels on the left, the shadow detail will be

lost. If there are too many pixels on the right, the

highlight detail will be lost. The gradation in-

between will be reproduced. By checking the image and its

brightness histogram, you can see the exposure level inclination and

the overall gradation.

 [RGB] display

This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of each primary

color’s brightness level in the image (RGB or red, green, and blue).

The horizontal axis indicates the color’s brightness level (darker on

the left and brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates how

many pixels exist for each color brightness level. The more pixels

there are toward the left, the darker and less prominent the color. The

more pixels there are toward the right, the brighter and denser the

color. If there are too many pixels on the left, the respective color

information will be lacking. If there are too many pixels on the right,

the color will be too saturated with no gradation. By checking the

image’s RGB histogram, you can see the color’s saturation and

gradation condition, as well as white balance inclination.
