lburn Posted August 26, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 26, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Is it possible to display a histogram when the image taken is automatically on screen having just taken the shot? I am using an M type 240 (not the "P") with the latest firmware update. Thanks for any tips on this and apologies if the answer is already out there.

Gary Clennan Posted August 26, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 26, 2014 You sure can. I have mine set to display blown highlights and dark shadows. I *think* you enable it while you are in play mode by pressing the arrows on the control pad. I will check further tonight.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, but it's an infuriating extra button push rather than an auto display option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Beacock Posted August 26, 2014 Share #4 Posted August 26, 2014 No need to push an extra button. Gary is right, if you play back a shot and then cycle through the display modes using the Info button, whatever option you choose to display on the screen will then remain as your default display for subsequent reviews.

How do you access your default display without pushing the info button? The OP was asking if it's possible to see the histogram in auto review; it isn't.

lburn Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted August 27, 2014 Thank you so much for that information. It works perfectly. I have set playback review to show the histogram and now it shows it in automatic review as well, just like you said. So simple! This is a huge benefit to me and I am sure to most photographers.

MarkP Posted August 27, 2014 Share #7 Posted August 27, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I can do without the screen for reviewing the image but the option of being able to quickly glance at the histogram is indeed very useful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithlaban.co.uk Posted August 27, 2014 Share #8 Posted August 27, 2014 I do apologise to one and all, please ignore my erroneous posts. I didn't have my camera with me when I posted, that'll teach me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheshireCat Posted August 27, 2014 Share #9 Posted August 27, 2014 Isn't the M240 histogram generated from the prview image, hence almost useless when one shoots raw ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted August 27, 2014 Share #10 Posted August 27, 2014 Yes, like almost any other camera. One of the few that do use an raw histogram is the Monochrom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirekti Posted August 27, 2014 Share #11 Posted August 27, 2014 Is it possible to change the M to use a raw histogram? Let's say in the next fw release? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheshireCat Posted August 27, 2014 Share #12 Posted August 27, 2014 Is it possible to change the M to use a raw histogram? Let's say in the next fw release? If the camera is not configured for JPEG only, that would make a lot of sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the histogram is based on a preview, it will still give a good indication (albeit not 100% accurate) of the image exposure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
algrove Posted August 29, 2014 Share #14 Posted August 29, 2014 It might be easier to make a DNG histogram in monochrome versus color, but why not offer it in color. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheshireCat Posted August 29, 2014 Share #15 Posted August 29, 2014 It might be easier to make a DNG histogram in monochrome versus color, but why not offer it in color. The algorithm is exactly the same. Each color channel in the raw Bayer matrix is a monochrome image. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
