Now just to clarify I have never been one to use the LV on any of the cameras I have owned, nor have I ever paid much attention to the histogram.<br />
I happened to be watching some YT vids made by a local landscape photographer using the Nikon D800 (my last camera). I was interested to note that the histogram changed as he altered the exposure or shutter speed (as you would expect) and the changes would be reflected in the LV screen ie the image was darker or lighter accordingly. This technique intrigued me and I thought why not try it.<br />
<br />
So I had a look at the K1 histogram and I couldn't get it to emulate the D800, even in manual mode (I use AV mode as I like to make sure the aperture setting is optimised for the lens I am using, note I always shoot on a tripod so shutter speed is not so important). <br />
<br />
So here are the questions I couldn't find answers for.<br />
<br />
Can this be done on the K1 and if so can someone please enlighten me? (I have probably just missed some settings or something!)<br />
<br />
Can the display of the histogram be enlarged/changed?
<br />

G'Day mate,
To see the histogram in LV you need to turn it on. This is done by pressing the menu button once then scrolling using the rear e-dial to camera setting page number 5. the second option is 'Live View'. This will allow you to turn on/off the options that the K-1 has for LV. I don't think the size of the histogram can be changed from the relatively small one provided. In manual mode as I change the aperture the histogram and the display changes matching the exposure adjustments as you would expect. <br />
<br />
When in Av mode manual input changes to the aperture will be matched by a corresponding change to the shutter speed to maintain the exposure to that set on the camera eg 0ev, -1 ev etc. However, if I am in Av and change the exposure adjustment the LV display and histogram will change to match the new exposure.<br />
<br />
When I shoot using LV I use the histogram and blinkies to manage exposure but my preference is to also use the RGB histogram to ensure I'm not over exposing in a particular colour space. <br />
