130x Image PlaybackAbout the HistogramThe brightness histogram display shows the exposure leveldistribution and overall brightness. The RGB histogram display is forchecking the color saturation and gradation. The display can beswitched with the [4 Histogram] menu.[Brightness] DisplayThis histogram is a graph showing thedistribution of the image’s brightness level. Thehorizontal axis indicates the brightness level(darker on the left and brighter on the right),while the vertical axis indicates how manypixels exist for each brightness level. The morepixels there are toward the left, the darker theimage. And the more pixels there are toward theright, the brighter the image. If there are toomany pixels on the left, the shadow detail will belost. And if there are too many pixels on theright, the highlight detail will be lost. Thegradation in-between will be reproduced. By checking the image andits brightness histogram, you can see the exposure level inclinationand the overall tone reproduction.[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. And the morepixels there are toward the right, the brighter and denser the color. Ifthere are too many pixels on the left, the respective color information willbe lacking. And if there are too many pixels on the right, the color will betoo saturated with no detail. By checking the image’s RGB histogram,you can see the color’s saturation and gradation condition and whitebalance inclination.Sample HistogramsDark imageNormal brightnessBright image
