• Use of the flash or multi-metering, as well as certain
shooting conditions can cause the histogram to indicate exposure that is different from the actual exposure of the image when it was recorded.
About the histogram...
The histogram is a graph of pixel luminance levels in terms
of the number of pixels. The vertical axis represents the
number of pixels, while the horizontal axis represents luminance. The information on the histogram can be used when
correcting or editing the image to determine whether image
details include enough shadows (left side) midtones (center), or highlights (right side). The histogram also makes it
easy to visualize the color tone range of an image, which
makes it a valuable reference tool when touching up the image.
E-106
PLAYBACK
NOTE
• If the histogram appears too lopsided in either direction, you should try recording the image again after
correcting the exposure (EV) value (page E-66), adjusting the aperture priority AE aperture value (page
E-80), adjusting the manual exposure shutter speed
or aperture value setting (page E-81).

MANAGING IMAGES
MANAGING IMAGES
The image management capabilities of the camera make it
easy to keep track of images. You can protect images
against deletion, and even use its DPOF feature to specify
images for printing.
Folders and Files
When you shoot the first image on a particular day, the camera automatically creates a folder for that date. All subsequent images you shoot on that day are stored in the same
folder.
• For full details about the organization of folders on the
memory card, see “Using a Memory Card to Transfer Image Data” on page E-129.
Folders
A folder is created automatically whenever you shoot the
first image on a particular date. The name assigned to the
folder is based on the current date, as described below. You
can have up to 900 folders on a memory card at the same
time (subject to storage capacity restrictions).
Example: Folder created on July 19, which is the 100th
folder on the memory card
Month
Day
100_0719
Underbar
Serial number
• The actual number of files you will be able to store on a
memory card depends on the capacity of the card, image
quality settings, etc.
E-114
MANAGING IMAGES
Files
Each folder can contain up to 250 image files. If you try to
save the 251st image to a folder, the camera automatically
creates a new folder and stores the image there. The names
assigned to files are based on the current date, as shown
below.
Example: 26th image shot on November 7
Month
Day

Extension (.JPG/.TIF/.AVI)
Serial number
• In addition to image files, memory cards also contain a
number of other files used by the system for image data
management.
• The actual number of files you will be able to store on a
memory card depends on the capacity of the card, image
quality settings, etc.
• Panorama images are stored as groups of multiple individual images.
• If there are more than 250 image files in a folder (due to
copying from another digital camera or other source), only
the first 250 (in name sequence) can be played back.
