Disappearing Histogram?
1

Set up my M50 II to display the histogram in the viewfinder per the owner's manual. Worked fine last shooting session; turned on the cam today and no histogram in sight.

Followed the manual (again) in numerous attempts to return the histogram to the viewfinder and all failed.

Am hoping that I don't have to reset the camera.

Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas?

Thanks.........

Mystery solved. The histogram is only enabled if “Shooting Simulation”, found in the menu Shooting tab, sub section 6 is enabled. I had read some info in a post where the writer had a good reason to turn it off. So I tried it.

But that takes out the histogram.

All is well again in my camera world. Just don’t ask me about the rest of the world.
