OK, I'm trying to set up both my Z6II and Z6III so that my Histogram appears on the LCD and EVF. I've followed the following instructions:
"Press menu, go to playback menu, (the top menu with the "play" symbol) go down to "playback display options", then use the right arrow key to select what info you want displayed. Check "overview" to get the Histogram to display."
On my Z6II, pressing the Display button to the right of the EVF produces a Histogram, but all of the other information -- various focus modes, etc. -- on the top of the screen are missing.
On my Z6III, I can't get the Histogram to appear no matter what. When I press the Display button, the only thing that happens is that the green focus-assist light on front of my camera comes on.
Anybody know a better way? Thanks.
Z6 iii Playback (Image Review) display choices. So many possible displays to cycle through!
Thes playback display option instructions you referenced are for
Playback. The
d19 and
d20 settings explained in this thread are for Photo Shooting mode.
So there's separate customization for
Review, for
EVF, and for
Monitor. And separate
video display customizations, of course.
To operate Playback, pressing the DISP cycles to the next review display. Or use the up/down 4-way arrows to cycle through the displays, in either direction.
Settings:
Unfortunately, the Z6 iii Hogan Guide isn't accurate or complete here, I think he repeated a different camera and didn't proof it completely.
I turned on many of the options in Playback:
[ ] = off, [x]= checkmark, on.
[ ]Focus point -- show the red focus box in the scene. I like this, but it is distracting to me.
[x]
Mark first shot in series. Bursts get a count of shots, and it's easy to jump to the next burst set: Use the joystick left-right to skip to the next or previous burst. joystick up/down steps through every frame. Single frames are "bursts" of 001 with this turned on. I like this! And
each burst set is a single thumbnail when zoomed out!
Display views:
....it appears that there is a stock view that can't be turned off, this gets the "first shot in series" icon, and it shows which card has this image. One row of basic shooting data at the bottom. A bit confusing when I was playing with the display settings.
--- And these checkmarks below are each separate views! if you checkmark all of them, there's 6 different views, with the "shooting data" also having it's up to 5 or more screens of data.
[ ] exposure info -- I think this is a simplified one row of exposure data at the bottom.
[
x]
highlights -- this shows the overexposure blinkies, and the scene is shrunk a little so that the exposure data is on the view edges, outside the scene. I use this view most of the time.
[x] RGB histogram -- a small top left quarter of the screen scene view, with the histograms stacked on the right side, and more white balance info at the bottom.
[ ] shooting data -- this is a set of 5 screens of shooting data lists -- I had this turned on since it includes the actual focal length as one of the data rows. Lots of data! It's kind of annoying to cycle through all 5 sets to get to the next display choice. Now I've turned it off again, since the focal length shows on the next view, "overview".
Oh, I see these multiple screens of data numbers can be included or excluded at the bottom section of this playback display settings lists. So it's possible to shorten the number of screens of data info.
[x] overview -- the scene only takes up a quarter of the view, like the RGB histogram page, with a large white histogram on the right, and 5 rows of shot data, including the actual focal length.
[x] none--picture only. no distractions!
[ ] file info -- just like "none", with a "6/72" shot 6 of 72 in the camera. and a burst count if that display option is on. Maybe I'll try this instead of None, but I don't want both of these.
