is displayed, or the flashing display for each tone level. These provide guidelines when
adjusting the picture brightness with functions such as exposure compensation.

3
The tone level indicates the brightness level. When the tone level to check is selected by
rotating the multi selector or pressing J or K, the area of the picture that corresponds to
the selected tone level flashes. Press the multi selector H or I to view the previous or next
image.
4
A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. The horizontal axis
corresponds to pixel brightness, with dark tones to the left and bright tones to the right.
The vertical axis shows the number of pixels.
