Hello Terry
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think this feature is there to a certain extent. In picture view mode you press the info button once, then you press and hold while you scroll to the option you are interested in (blinking highlights, detailed info or histogram), then you exit the view mode (e. g. by half-pressing the shutter button). Next time you are in view mode, if you press the info button once, the option which was set last will be displayed. In my case, I press the view button and then the info button and have the histogram on the monitor, fairly quick really.
Is this what you were looking for? Unfortunately, although lots of E-1 users have been clamouring for it, there is still no instant histogram.
Happy photo hunting Yvonne
