Z9: I am unable to view histogram

[Ajayan]

Hi friends,
I am unable to see the histogram in the EVF and on the Monitor of my Z9. I have ticked Display 1, 2,3,4 &5 in Custom Monitor Display (d9) in Custom Setting Menu. But the Histogram is not visible. Can anybody help me to set it correctly?

Have you pressed the Display button to cycle through the various display configurations?

 

[Ajayan]

Yes, I pressed Display button to cycle through all the 5 displays. Other features are visible, but no Hstogram.

Someone else here did this: Custom Settings D8 set to "adjust for ease of viewing" Then set to "show effects of settings

Are you talking about Playback, or live view? If Playback, then once you have selected the desired Playback Display Screen to use, you need to page up/down through the various views that you configured for that display option screen by using the Direction pad.

For seeing the historgram during live view, check your Custom Setting #D10 (View Mode) and make sure that you don't have "Adjust for ease of viewing" set, as this will cancel any display of the histogram while composing.

I satisfied above criteria, ie. D10.but the result is same

Did you put a check next to the histogram as it talks about here:

For custom setting d19, do you have histogram turned on for any of display options 1 thru 4?

Hey Ajayan!
Not sure if you have solved the problem yet but I found that turning off Starlight from D11 done the trick! Was starting to drive me a tad nuts

Hi, Orkney Pirate, Perfect !!!. You are correct. I solved this when I was about to take off for my Masai Mara trip in September 2023. It was not easy to overcome this snag. Thank you for your efforts.

THANKS SO MUCH!!!! This was driving me crazy! I would have never thought turning off Starlight was the answer.

THANK YOU! I have a bank dedicated to astro photography (which explains my use of starlight mode) Shame I can't access histogram at the same time. Is anybody aware of this was reported to Nikon?

Thank you! I was using strobes for a portrait session and changed "Adjust for ease of viewing." Reset this and I now see my histogram in the viewfinder again.
