 About the Histogram
The brightness histogram shows the  exposure level distribution and 
overall brightness. The RGB histogram is for checking the color 
saturation and gradation. The display can be switched with the [ 4 
Histogram ] menu option.
[Brightness] Display
This histogram is a graph  showing the distribution of 
the image’s brightness leve l. The horizontal axis 
indicates the brightness leve l (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 th ere are too many pixels on 
the left, the shadow detail w ill be lost. And if there are 
too many pixels on the righ t, the highlight detail will 
be lost. The gradation in-b etween will be reproduced. 
By checking the image and  its brightness histogram, 
you can see the exposure level inclination and the ov erall gradation.
[RGB] DisplayThis histogram is a graph showing the distribution  of each primary color’s 
brightness level in the im age (RGB or red, green, and blue). The horizontal 
axis indicates the color’s brightness le vel (darker on the left and brighter 
on the right), while the 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 histogram,  you can see the color’s saturation 
and gradation condition a nd white balance inclination.
