I am testing a K-5II and do not seem to be able to get the digital preview to show me the histogram. In the Digital Preview menu, I have the histogram box checked, but when I rotate the On/Off dial fully to the right, all that I get is the DOF showing in the VF. No histogram. This is not how it works on my K-5. What am I missing?

You need to change the dial setting to show the digital preview. Menu 5, Button customization, Preview dial.
