Histogram Displays distribution of brightness in picture – e.g. if the graph peaks at the right, this means there are several bright areas in the picture.

Do not use the flash at close distances to other subjects (heat/light m\ ay damage subject). Flash settings may be changed when changing recording mode. Scene mode flash settings are restored to default when scene mode is cha\ nged. Edges of picture may become slightly dark if using flash at short distan\ ces without using zoom (close to max. W). This may be remedied by using a little zoom. If flash is to be emitted, flash type marks (e.g. ) will turn red when shutter button is pressed halfway. No pictures may be taken if these marks (e.g. ) are flashing (flash is charging). Insufficient flash reach may be due to inadequately set exposure or white bal\ ance. Flash effect may not be fully achieved with high shutter speeds. Flash charging may take time if battery is low, or if using flash repeatedly.
