Highlights

Optimal exposure: Pixels are distributed in an even curve throughout the tone range.

Overexposed: Pixels are clustered on the right side of the graph.

Underexposed: Pixels are clustered on the left side of the graph.

To view separate RGB histograms and a display showing areas of the frame that will be overexposed at current settings superimposed on the view through the lens, press the function button to which [HISTOGRAM] is assigned (aFunction Controls).

  • [OFF]: The virtual horizon is not displayed.
  • [2D]: A white line shows the amount the camera is tilted left or right. The line turns green when the camera is level. The line may vanish if the camera is tilted forward or back.
  • [3D]: The display shows whether the camera is tilted left or right and forward or back.

[ELECTRONIC LEVEL SWITCH] can be assigned to a function button and the button then used to switch between the 2D and 3D displays.
