B Shooting Information Display
 Highlight Alert
When the shooting information is displayed, any overexposed areas of the 
image will blink. To obtain more image detail in the overexposed areas, set 
the exposure compensation to a negative amount and shoot again.
 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 [
x2: Histogram disp].
[Brightness] DisplayThis histogram is a graph showing 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. 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. If there are too 
many pixels on the right, the highlight detail will be 
lost. The gradation in-between will be reproduced. By 
checking the image and its brightness histogram, you 
can see the exposure level inclination and the overall gradation.
[RGB] DisplayThis histogram is a graph showing the distribution of each primary 
color’s brightness level in the image (RGB or red, green, and blue). 
The horizontal axis indicates the color’s brightness level (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. 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. If there are too many pixels on the right, 
the color will be too saturated with no gradation. By checking the 
image’s RGB histogram, you can see the color’s saturation and 
gradation condition, as well as white balance inclination.

Post-ProcessingImages
After taking a picture, you can apply a Creative filter or 
resize the image (reduce the number of pixels).
 The camera may not be able  to process images taken with 
another camera.
  Post-processing images as desc ribed in this chapter is not 
possible while the camera is connected to a computer via the 
interface cable.

 When shooting  1+73  or 1  image, a filter effect will be applied to 
the  1  image and the image will be saved as a JPEG image.

  Grainy B/W
Creates a grainy black-and-white photo. You can change the black-
and-white effect by adjusting the contrast.
  Soft focus
Gives the image a soft look. You can change the degree of softness 
by adjusting the blur.
  Fish-eye effect
Gives the effect of a fish-eye lens. The image will have a barrel-type 
distortion.
Depending on the level of this filter effect, the area trimmed along 
the periphery of the image changes. Also , since this filter effect will 
magnify the image center, the apparent resolution at the center may 
degrade depending on the number of recorded pixels. Set the filter 
effect in step 4 while checking the resulting image.
  Toy camera effect
Darkens the photo’s corners and applies a color tone that makes it 
look as if it was shot by a toy camera. You can change the color cast 
by adjusting the color tone.
  Miniature effect
Creates a diorama effect. You can change where the image looks 
sharp. In step 4 on page 234, if you press the < B> button, you 
can switch between the white frame’s vertical and horizontal 
orientations.
