returning the switch to its original position), it is once again
possible to erase images and format the card.
It is recommended to move the write-protection switch to LOCK
when you have some important data recorded.
Note that you cannot shoot images on a locked card because no
data can be recorded to the card. Unlock the card before shooting.

Histogram
When Histogram is on, a histogram
appears in the lower right corner on the
LCD monitor. A histogram is a graph
indicating the number of pixels on the
vertical axis and the brightness on the
horizontal axis (from left to right,
shadows (dark areas), midtones, and
highlights (bright areas)).
By using the histogram, you can determine the brightness of an
image without being affected by the brightness around the LCD
monitor. This also helps you correct for areas that are overly bright
or dark.
If the histogram has only peaks on the
right side without anything else, this
picture is over-exposed with too many
pixels only for highlight sections.
58
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The histogram displayed on the LCD monitor is for reference only.
• Depending on the shooting conditions (use of the flash, dark surrounding light, etc.),
the exposure level indicated in the histogram may not correspond to the brightness
of the shot image.
• Exposure compensation has its limitation. It does not necessarily achieve the best
possible result.
• A histogram with peaks in the center may not necessarily provide the best result to
