You can check for loss of contrast detail in highlights and shadows from the
histogram that is displayed, or the flashing display for each tone level. These
provide guidelines when adjusting the image brightness with functions such as
exposure compensation.

The tone level indicates the brightness level. When the tone level to check is
selected using the multi selector JK, the area of the image that corresponds to
the selected tone level flashes.
3
A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. The
horizontal axis corresponds to pixel brightness, with dark tones to the left and
bright tones to the right. The vertical axis shows the number of pixels.
