B: Shooting Information Display324 Highlight AlertWhen the shooting information is displayed, any overexposed areasof the image will blink. To obtain more image detail in theoverexposed, blinking areas, set the exposure compensation to anegative amount and shoot again. HistogramThe brightness histogram shows the exposure level distribution andoverall brightness. The RGB histogram is for checking the colorsaturation and gradation. The display can be switched with [x2:Histogram disp].[Brightness] DisplayThis histogram is a graph showing the distributionof the image’s brightness level. The horizontal axisindicates the brightness level (darker on the leftand brighter on the right), while the vertical axisindicates how many pixels exist for eachbrightness level. The more pixels there are towardthe left, the darker the image. The more pixelsthere are toward the right, the brighter the image.If there are too many pixels on the left, the shadowdetail will be lost. If there are too many pixels onthe right, the highlight detail will be lost. Thegradation in-between will be reproduced. Bychecking the image and its brightness histogram,you can see the exposure level inclination and the overall gradation.[RGB] DisplayThis histogram is a graph showing the distribution of each primarycolor’s brightness level in the image (RGB or red, green, and blue). Thehorizontal axis indicates the color’s brightness level (darker on the leftand brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates how manypixels exist for each color brightness level. The more pixels there aretoward the left, the darker and less prominent the color. The more pixelsthere are toward the right, the brighter and denser the color. If there aretoo many pixels on the left, the respective color information will belacking. If there are too many pixels on the right, the color will be toosaturated with no gradation. By checking the image’s RGB histogram,you can see the color’s saturation and gradation condition, as well aswhite balance inclination.Sample HistogramsDark imageNormal brightnessBright image
