Histogram in OVF is not there.....

Erik Johansen · May 22, 2011

Yes it's checked in the set up, I've tried all exp. moduses.

It shows in EVF and on the LCD, but the overlay in OVF shows only the frame with nothing in it.
Firmware is 1.01.

Can anyone help?

Yes, it is annoying. Turn off the OVF save power option - that should do the trick....

Cheers, Terry

That made the trick! Thanks guys.

Do you have more hidden secrets?

I seem to have lost the histogram and distance bar from OVF and EVF but not the LCD since I updated to 1.01

Have set power save on OVF to off to no avail?

Pressing the DISP/BACK button toggles between simple and customised viewfinder info. You can only change a viewfinder while using it - eg, you have to be using the OVF when you press the DISP/BACK button to get back your customised OVF viewfinder info.

Thanks Terry; this OVF histogram limitation persists in firmware 1.11 as well.

I was on the verge of returning my two day old camera; your help much appreciated.

This seems to be a great camera, but somewhat of an electronics nightmare.
