Thanks -- Yes, if I turn PREVIEW EXP/WB IN MANUAL MODE 'on', and turn NATURAL LIVE VIEW 'off', the histogram does function. However, what I want is for the histogram to work without having to turn PREVIEW EXP on. The viewfinder and the display become too dark to see the subject, unless the aperture is set wide open. It is impossible to see anything at f/11, for example.
Do you know of a way to have the histogram work in Manual (M) mode without having PREVIEW EXP on? It works correctly in all the other modes (S,A, etc.), so it seems like a bug if it does work in M mode.

If you set the exposure correctly, the preview shouldn't be dark at all. The image in the EVF should look the same no matter what aperture is set. if you're seeing a dark image, you're taking a dark image. That's kinda the point of  a "what you see is what you get" exposure preview. Make sure all your exposure parameters are set correctly, if you stop the aperture way down, you will have to slow the SS down or raise the ISO up.
