the chosen tone level blinks.
3 The histogram is a bar graph that shows the brightness distribution in the picture. 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.
4 The shooting information displayed includes the shooting mode A, B, C or D, shutter speed,
aperture value, image quality, image size, ISO sensitivity, white balance, exposure compensation,
COOLPIX Picture Control, and the current frame number/total number of frames.
