Histogram
Displays distribution of brightness in picture – e.g. if the 
graph peaks at the right, this means there are several 
bright areas in the picture (Guide). A peak in the centre 
represents correct brightness (correct exposure). This 
can be used as a reference for exposure correction, 
etc. (

in orange, when recording with flash or in dark locations. Also, Histogram may differ 
from Histograms made with image editing software.
 
• Histogram is not displayed during a performance of 
 ([Intelligent Auto] Mode) or 
Playback Zoom.
