Histogram display

The following histograms can be displayed when playing back still 

pictures. The “Brightness histogram” shows the distribution of brightness 

and the “RGB histogram” shows the distribution of color intensity. Press 

the four-way controller (23) to switch between “Brightness histogram” 

and “RGB histogram”.

* Indicator 2 appears only for protected images.

* Indicator 4 appears only when the file format of the last captured image is 

JPEG, and its data still remains in the buffer memory. (p.74)
