My first post - Hello!

Finaly decided to install LR. Installed on my 500D and mostly all very smooth and awesome!

Tried searching but can't see a place to find out what everything being displayed means (it doesn't look like the one in the user manual) so point me there please or let me know (especially 5):

My guesses so far:
1. Ghost image. Came up on top left - I'd imagined this would be full screen - instead it has vertical bands which extend over various parts of the display. What is this feature meant to do?
2. Histogram
3. Center point with % brightness? How useful is this?
4. Time
5. Bars - unknown - something to do with exposure? What do the colours mean?
6. Something to do with exposure to the right - what does the number mean?
5. Recording RAW
8. Unknown: "Alo"?
9. Remaining card memory
10. Mode
11. Lens focal length (no image stabilisation)
12. Aperture
13. ISO
14. White balance
15. Focus distance
16. Auto focus on
17. exposure compensation (stops)
18. battery remaining.

Thanks for looking, any comments welcome!

2 is a bug, 1 is aliasing from the 500D's display hardware (640x480 screen, 720x480 memory buffer, nearest-neighbor interpolation).

5 is...
