Even in the no information display mode, shooting information appears for approximately 6 seconds (shooting information may not appear depending on the camera settings at that time). The (camera shake warning) or (flash warning) icon appears in red on the LCD monitor (or viewfinder) in low light conditions while the camera is preparing to shoot. Use one of the following shooting methods. - Raise the flash to enable automatic or normal firing - Turn the Image Stabilizer function on (p. 35) - Fix the camera to a tripod Continued on next page
While a recorded image is displayed on the LCD monitor, you can check the exposure with the graph (see Histogram Function (p. 32)) that shows the distribution of the brightness data. If the exposure requires adjustment, set the exposure compensation (p. 90) and reshoot. Press the DISP. button if the histogram and other information are not shown. Please note that image information recorded by this camera may not display correctly on other cameras and image information recorded by other cameras may not display correctly on this camera.

Histogram

The histogram is a graph that allows you to judge the brightness of the shot image. The greater the bias toward the left in the graph, the darker the image. The greater the bias toward the right, the brighter the image. If the image is too dark, adjust the exposure compensation to a positive value. Similarly, adjust the exposure compensation to a negative value if the image is too bright (p. 90).

AF-assist Beam The AF-assist Beam will sometimes emit when the shutter button is pressed halfway to assist focusing in certain conditions, e.g., dark conditions. The AF-assist Beam can be turned off (p. 77). For example, if animals are your subject, turn off the beam when shooting in the dark to avoid startling them. However, please keep in mind the following facts. - Turning the AF-assist Beam off when shooting in dark places may make it more difficult for the camera to focus. - Even when the AF-assist beam is turned off, the red-eye reduction lamp fires when [Red-eye] is set to [On].
