Configuring Monitor Screen Settings
Each press of [8] (DISP) will cycle through display settings that display or hide on-
screen information and the control panel. You can configure separate settings for the
REC mode and PLAY mode.
• The control panel is not displayed and display information settings cannot be
changed during movie recording.
Displays a histogram on the monitor screen which you can use to
check the exposure of an image before you shoot it. You also can
display the histogram in the PLAY mode for information about the
exposure levels of images.
NOTE
• A centered histogram does not necessarily guarantee optimum exposure. The
recorded image may be over-exposed or under-exposed, even though its
histogram is centered.
• Due to the limitations of exposure compensation, you may not be able to achieve
an optimum histogram configuration.
• Use of the flash and certain shooting conditions can cause the histogram to
indicate exposure that is different from the actual exposure of the image when it is
shot.
• The histogram cannot be displayed during high speed movie recording.
