I can't display histogram in shooting mode on M6ii. Reset all menu items and reselected desired items. Still no display of shooting histogram on camera screen. Histogram is displayed in menus but not on camera screen. Someone please help how to fix this. No problem on M3; M6ii ???  Thank you for your help.

Blue tab #4 top item play back mode I have items 1&4 checked. Press image review and you will see Histogram, press info and you get full screen view . Depending on how long you’ve set to review your photo the screen will default to a live histogram that can be used to establish exposure. This is the method I use to set exposure.

Re: histogram

If you're still looking for a solution to this issue, I think I found it.  I was having the same issue with my M6 MkII.  I had the camera in servo mode.  Once I switched to one shot, the histogram became available.  Interestingly, the histogram remains available when the camera is in face detect with tracking mode, which behaves much the same as servo.
