What it Does Provides a nice “moving ribbon” visual when you’re changing exposure settings (but it blocks the Histogram!)

Figure 7-14: The Exposure Setting guide provides a nice UI but hides the histogram and so it’s not useful to me.

This was a nice user interface idea. Whenever you change either the f/stop or shutter speed in most DISPlay modes, you’ll get this nice little animation showing you how the f/stop and / or shutter speed are changing but in opposite directions, as shown in Figure 7-14. Cute, but there are MANY occasions when I’m changing these settings and I look at the live histogram in the lower-right-hand corner at the same time.

I keep it off because the ribbon blocks the live histogram when you’re adjusting settings in manual exposure mode. (Oops!)

This setting is not available when DISP is set to “Graphic Display” or “For Viewfinder”.
