Histogram on K-3

LeDave · 08-26-2015, 01:14 PM

Hi, I am unable to view the histogram on the images saved to my memory card when I press the playback button. I click on the down arrow in playback but I see no histogram option available. I can only get the histogram to show after I take the shot. I tried digging through the menus over and over and can't find it able to do this. I use a K-3 if that helps. Thanks.

Press the info button while viewing the photo in playback mode, then select the histogram view from the overlay menu.

This is a slight change compared to the K-5 interface, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it

Thank you! Thanks! Better than what I had anticipated.
