  Histogram
On the menu’s [ x Histogram ] setting, you can select [ Brightness] 
or [ RGB ]. (p.35)
[Brightness] Display
This histogram is a graph s howing the distribution of 
the image’s brightness level. The horizontal axis 
indicates the brightness level (darker on the left and 
brighter on the right), while the vertical axis 
indicates how many pixels  exist for each brightness 
level. 
The more pixels there are toward the left, the darker 
the image. And the more pixels there are toward the 
right, the brighter the image. 
If there are too many pixels on the left, the shadow 
detail will be lost. And if there are too many pixels 
on the right, the highlight detail will be lost. The 
tones in-between will be reproduced. 
By checking the image’s bright ness histogram, you can see the 
exposure level bias and the overall tone reproduction condition. 
[RGB] Display
This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of the image’s 
brightness level of each primary color (RGB or red, blue, and green). 
The horizontal axis indicates the color’s brightness level (darker on the 
left and brighter on the right), while t he vertical axis indicates how many 
pixels exist for each color brightness level. The more pixels there are 
toward the left, the darker and less prominent the color. And the more 
pixels there are toward the right, the brighter and denser the color. If 
there are too many pixels on the left, the respective color information 
will be lacking. And if there are too  many pixels on the right, the color 
will be too saturated with no detail. 
By checking the image’s RGB hist ogram, you can see the color’s 
saturation and gradation condition and white balance bias.
