Your video has helped me achieve two things, how to find live histogram which I didn't think I could, and to feel stupid for not reading the book properly.. Thank you.
Definitely an overlooked and highly valuable feature is the histogram display in Live View mode. Thanks for the clear and concise tutorial on how to set up this function on my Nikon.
Hello from Texas! I keep forgetting that you must first bring up the light meter using the OK button before you can bring up the live view histogram using the Info button. (on the D500.) Thank you for that, Jason.
Excellent description! I lost the histogram which I had before and somehow forgot how to get it back. Now thanks to your video I was able to get it back. Surprisingly the manual of the D-810 doesn't explain what you showed in the video, I looked for it and I could not find it. Good job! Thank you.
A few days ago I saw this very useful feature on a Canon DSLR. And was disappointed that my D750 doesn't have such LV histogram. .... Until I found your video today. Thank you !!!
I have been looking for the LV histogram feature on the D850 for the last 3 weeks! It was inconceivable that Nikon would leave it out but I was completely lost trying to find it.I cannot thank you enough
Really nicely presented no time wasting waffle just jam packed with useful helpful information- told in a pleasant way easy on the ear. Really impressed I learned a lot thank you
Thanks Jason, I've spent 2 hours trying to get the Live Histogram on with my D810 - reading the user manual wasn't much help, and I then came across your video - so easy! Thank you.
Thank you! Didn't know I could see Histogram in Live View on my D810. Coming from Photoshop, I don't need to be lectured on the value of Histograms -- thank you NIkon!
Thank you so very much! I had seen on another video that it was possible on some cameras to show this in live view, but my manual had very little information about the histogram and it definitely didn't tell me how to show it in live view. Great video!
Thanks Jason for the excellent video. I have recently added a 2nd hand D810 to my gear for landscape photos. I generally shoot mirror less Fuji so I have been accustomed to having readily histogram available on screen. Now I know how to access it also on the D810, which by the way I find to be excellent for landscape photography. Thanks for sharing !
Mate this is so useful, I have a D750 and D810, I could not for the life of me find this on the D810!! no all sorted, thanks so much for doing the video it's really exactly what I was looking for.
I use LV to setup at an arena in Camera mode on my D850s, as soon as i am happy i switch to normal mode and use the settings from Camera LV. Its simple and allows you to cut chimp testing down a lot. Nikon are getting better, just very very slowly.
Thanks Jason. I just bought a 750 and working through the buttons to see how they function. Since the exposure preview is on a second menu, I didn't even know it existed. I have lots of experience with crop sensor Nikons but am just starting to use live view way more - especially since I shoot lots of landscapes. If you have any more tips on live view please pass them our way. Thanks
I’m assuming it’s a “pro” feature. I didn’t even look for my histogram until I decided to upgrade from a d3400 to d850. Non-“pro” models that don’t support the various AF lenses and non-CPU lenses probably won’t have life view histograms. But, using light metering apps helps a lot too. And like traditional film cameras, you’d be hand metering.
Great info, Jason. I've had my D750 nearly a year and I didn't know about the live-view histogram However, I just tried it and found it to be pretty inaccurate.
I find it to be more accurate than your regular meter, because it isn't biased by the focus points. Make sure you don't have exposure compensation turned on by accident. I also recommend using the "Flat" or "Neutral" Picture Control settings to get a more accurate histogram.
It turns out that the live view histogram works fine for a normal scene. I was testing it with an extremely difficult subject (bright red amaryllis blossom against a black TV screen).
Hi Do you know if the D7500 has the option of the Live view real time histogram. I ask as it has the same sensor as the D500 . I cant see any reference on the web.Why does Nikon hide this feature or in the case of the D7100/7200 don't or take it off!
Hi. I have a problem with my camera's AF-S and AF-F. When I set it into Live View, the shutter won't release. However, when I switch it to MF, the camera works. May I ask what seems to be the problem with the auto-focus in this case? Any action you may suggest will be much appreciated. This is the first time I encountered this problem. P.S. My cam is Nikon D3300. Thanks & GOD bless!
In Live View (camera mode, not movie) press OK. The exposure meter is displayed. Then cycle through the 'info' button. You should first see the grid, and then the histogram.
Hello Jason, Thank you for your excellent video. Please advise me on how and if, I can find the live histogram when I am in live view, with my D700 ? I have tried hard, but I was not successful. Many thanks again.
@@donutsubscribe3751 the thing is I was reading that even the d7100 has a live histogram, which is considered to be a hobyest camera.. so, why they didn't implement it in the D610 is beyond me...
Now it's actually irritating, and why cant i get those damn lines out of my optical shots. All my shots have these bars on side. Grid lines to the side. They show when downloaded, uploaded, so my optical is absolutely useless, I paid 3500 for this 850, it takes pics when I accidently tap screen, viewfinder shots have bars on them. Wtf?? No option to take away. I see others posting pics with these side bars. What a crappy situation photograph has turned into. A marketing plow, anyone have nice old stuff they'd like to trade for new 850 with 2 lenses. Want fair deal, will no longer fuck with this crap. I do better in shorter time with 50 year old gear. Just need good lens, anyone? Will throw shitty new 7200 in for free. It's all shit

I still have not found it on my D810. Updated the firmware and everything. No luck.

Thank you so much! I love my D810 but have wanted a live view histogram since I bought it. Thanks to you, I’ve got it!
Great and tremendously USEFUL technique! The histogram is "key" to exposure in digital photography.
This is an excellent video on Live and the histogram I learned so much and plan on using this more often, Thank you Jason.
Thanks. Just bought an old D810 and love it. Thank you for this.
I don’t use live view often but I am so glad you just have shown me this tip. I had no idea that I could get a live histogram.

Thank you good video. I never knew this and I've had my D750 for 3 years. I'll check out more on your channel .

Really great info for intermediate photographer thanks for your time
Thank you it was a very useful video
I had put my D810 away for a while and completely forgot how operate it. Thanks for the vid
Remember live you with a histogram is not available in auto mode! Thanks for the vid!
Thanks so much, Jason. As you said, it's extremely useful, and is something I didn't know. Great tip.

Nice info for biginers thanks
Is there any way to do it in D5600? 'Cause I didn't find! :(
Even I wanted to find out
Very useful tutorial. Thanks
I had it before with my D3400 but somehow lost it when I reset my settings. Can somebody help? Its really a helpful feature.
Thanks Jason. You showed me some features I didn't know existed on my D810.
I don't see it on the D80. Have You?
Excellent!

Thank you sir. I needed that!
Very useful. Thank you!
Wow, very cool did not know I could do that on my D500. Thanks
Thank you, very very good information. Nikon D7500
I was looking for this feature, now I found it on my D4s
I have a D3100. Any idea if it has this feature? Can't figure it out myself.
Cool works fine on my D500 thanks for sharing this !

Well I am using "Neutral" PC and 0eV compensation in manual mode. Do you use it with matrix, spot, or CW metering?
Matrix. I see no real difference between the Live View histogram and the histogram of the resulting image.
I just sent you an e-mail.
It turns out that the live view histogram works fine for a normal scene. I was testing it with an extremely difficult subject (bright red amaryllis blossom against a black TV screen).
Thank you... works on my D7500
Works fine with my d800 too.
Hi, thanks for the video. Can i ask you which l-bracket you use in the video on the nikon d750?
Really said that the d600 doesn't offer this function :( also the exposure simulation is horrible there..
Hi Do you know if the D7500 has the option of the Live view real time histogram. I ask as it has the same sensor as the D500 . I cant see any reference on the web.Why does Nikon hide this feature or in the case of the D7100/7200 don't or take it off!

Is there any live view histogram in Nikon df
Can someone type out how to get histogram to show up on live nikon d850 please!?
In Live View (camera mode, not movie) press OK. The exposure meter is displayed. Then cycle through the 'info' button. You should first see the grid, and then the histogram.
The Nikon D500 does not have a live Histogram
Thanks...just got an 850...I am sure it will have this capability
Brill 👍🏻
Thank You, Jason !!!
thx! thumbs up. very easy. who knew.....
Can you get aperture preview?
Hello Jason, Thank you for your excellent video. Please advise me on how and if, I can find
the live histogram when I am in live view, with my D700 ? I have tried hard, but I was not successful. Many thanks again.
Hi Flora, I'm afraid the D700 does not have that feature. It's only in some of the newer Nikon DSLRs.
@@JasonOdellPhoto Many thanks Jason , I will find it on my D500 hopefully.
@@FLORAMORAITINI I believe the D500 does have this feature.
Thank u
❤🌹❤
I cant find histogram on my D610
If you could use live view for hand held without it blacking out would be a game changer…
That's exactly why I use mirrorless cameras now. Live view histogram in the viewfinder!
Well how come we can’t get histogram in viewfinder!!!!!!
James Tepedino ... its an optical viewfinder. Check out the Nikon Mirrorless cameras with Electronic viewfinders for that feature.
d3200 does'nt have live histogram only ur new d750 model have it i see
I cant find it on my D610!!!!!!!!!!
it doesn't have it
@@donutsubscribe3751 Thats very disappointing! especially considering that the D610 is considered to be a semi pro Camera...
@@AmbientWanderer yea, that's why i switched back to canon. Nikon has great sensors but terrible software

why are you shouting???
