Histogram View on X-T30

[DelH]

Hi, I have an X-T30 and interested in the way the histogram is displayed.

If I'm in looking through the viewfinder, then lower camera and look at the rear LCD, the histogram appears.  After a second or two it disappears.  The same when I rise camera to my eye - the histogram appears again then hides.

The operation seems odd - the histogram is enabled in the screen settings menu.

Thanks for any help.

By chance do you have your finger on the shutter button? Slightly pressing it will cause the histogram to hide so that you get to see more scene.

Thanks for the reply.

The key was to switch on "Large Indicators Mode" on.  Then it works as you describe where it hides when shutter button half pressed.  Downside is that the indicators are larger - funnily enough 🙂

I wonder whether it's a bug when the histogram flashes up when large indicators not on...  Anyway all sorted thanks.

Well hmm, on my camera that is how it works without (and with) large indicators turned on, which, is probably a good idea, since being able to see the scene is a good thing.

Ha yes it is!  Are you using an X-T30 or just similar?

Thanks.
