Another live view question

Hi all

If you have a camera with live view does it also have a live histogram and if so do you use it?

Steve, I've not noticed a histogram available in liveview. I do use liveview though, 450d

 

[TrevDR]

John if you press (DISP) button in live view, the histogram should appear

Thanks Trev, I'll have a look. It won't be of any use though for my normal usage of liveview

Edit: Just tested it Trev, and yep, for the histogram. As I'm currently imaging with the telescope, the histogram showed one thin bar hard up against the left hand edge..
