distribution of brightness in the image.

of brightness, and the vertical axis, how

way to check exposure.
 z The histogram can also be accessed 
while shooting ( = 106, = 197).
RGB Histogram, GPS Information Display
 Still Images  Movies
 z
The RGB histogram shows the 
distribution of shades of red, green, and 
blue in an image. The horizontal axis 
represents R, G, or B brightness, and the 
vertical axis, how much of the image is 
at that level of brightness. Viewing this 
histogram enables you to check image 
color characteristics.
 zUsing a smartphone connected to the 
camera via Wi-Fi, you can geotag images 
on the camera, adding information such 
as latitude, longitude, and elevation 
(=
 164). You can review this information 
in the GPS information display.
 z Latitude, longitude, elevation, and UTC 
(shooting date and time) are listed from 
top to bottom.
