Switching the information display

You can switch the information displayed in the monitor during shooting using the INFO button.

  1. Basic Information 1
  2. Image only
  1. Histogram display (Custom1)
  2. Level gauge display (Custom2)

Not displayed in n mode (movie mode) unless recording is in progress.

  • You can change Custom1 and Custom2 settings. g [G/Info Settings] > [LV-Info]
  • The information display screens can be switched in either direction by rotating the control dial while pressing the INFO button.

Histogram display

A histogram showing the distribution of brightness in the image is displayed. The horizontal axis gives the brightness, the vertical axis the number of pixels of each brightness in the image. During shooting, overexposure is indicated in red, underexposure in blue, and the range metered using spot metering in green.

  1. More
  2. Less
  1. Dark
  2. Bright

Level gauge display

The orientation of the camera is indicated. The “tilt” direction is indicated on the vertical bar and the “horizon” direction on the horizontal bar. The camera is level and plumb when the bars turn green.

  • Use the indicators on the level gauge as a guide.
  • If there are any errors in the display, perform Level Adjust ([Level Adjust]).
