Hi.

I a new to this, and want to learn more about " how to read and understand " the real time histogram in the dimage7i.

Does someone have a good link to a beginners guide of some sort?

Thanks for any advice.

Haha :)))) heart beat little thingie ??????? Do you mean the HAND SHAKE icon? I am not sure I followed you there.

If you mean the handshake icon, then that means you have to use the flash or better light conditions to get a picture that are not blurry.

Ummm....no...I guess I should have called it something different....maybe the mountain meter? What's will all the jaggies and what do they mean? They change so fast!

Believe me...I know what the handshake icon is! That is my best friend!!!!

The first link above is great - thanks! I'm one of those people new to the brave world of histograms...

The second link above didn't work for me - I always got "Cannot display page" errors.
Try this instead:
http://www.vincentbockaert.com/Tutorials/ImagesFramePST_05_Examples.htm

By the way, how do you display a histogram on the D7i? Sometimes I see one together with the picure (in the upper half of the LCD), sometimes I don't. Can't figure out how to make it appear when I want to.
 
Press "i+ " button. The one to left and above the menu button.

go into Photoshop and play with adjust levels. That is a histogram and you can make adjustments. If not PS try DIVU. Try with dark pics, light pics, pics w no black or white (all midtones) etc. You'll soon get the feel for it.

Histogram tells you (or me anyway) when I might be clipping bright whites (right side) or blacks/shadows(left side) based on current scene and exposure. All fairly new to me too. Play, experiment, try again.....
