That’s no problem Jim. You not being helpful was actually …. quite helpful 😉
In the menu (submenu display On/Off) the Histogram option was greyed out. So even there it was not possible to activate the histogram.
I did not mention that I had this problem on the EX1r (and I compared it with a different camera …. yep an EX1).
What I did not expect was that when I re-entered the config from a card, the SD/HD mode is not being reset. I assumed that everything would be back to our basic settings.
The camjo-colleague told me he had shot in HD (for his TV-monitor he was using during edit could only show SD and thus he could not use that device). But I guess he must have played around in the menu and set it to SD. He told me though that he did not alter the menu … only the output was set to SDI.
Well, now I know that he was not telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. (may God help him, when I see him ;-))
