Originally posted by Andi Lo Hmm, to get histogram to show automatically during preview I need to set Preview display > Histogram under the Playback menu. If I select histogram to be previewed, then everytime I use DOF preview there will be a histogram and I don't want that... are we talking about the same thing here?
I know I can check my histogram using the info button during preview mode, but I want the histogram to be displayed during instant preview.
I was brief, and too much so. You can have the histogram during instant preview (which I never use, btw) using the settings in the menus. It's either on or off.
I use the preview button to light up the LCD - I do not use the show-me-as-soon-as-I-take-a-shot preview. I find it just wastes battery power to no use.
Rather than always the histogram, I turn on the highlight/shadow warnings. If they indicate a problem, then a couple of presses on the [Info] button will bring up the histograms.
I do notice that I can turn the "blinkies" on for instant preview if I wish, in my Custom menu. I suspect that it is available to you as well. Perhaps that would resolve your dilemma.
