How do I trun the Histogram off?

Artvein9 — Tue, 27 Aug 2013 16:35:33 GMT

Visited the camera shop over this past weekend. The person helping me turned the Histogram on so after a shot is taken, this is displayed. How do I turn this setting off to display the shot I have just taken? The manual is no help in solving this problem.

Press play to see the photo/histogram, then the info button to cycle through the options.

Exactly the info I needed.

Okay, so I clicked the little arrow pointing right (Playback button) & it said "This function is not selectable in current shooting mode" --I was on Auto Mode.

So I tried P Mode & Manual Mode & then the Play button took me to choose either AF Mode. Huh?

So either there is some other PLAY button unmarked on my T3 or else mine does not work?

Switch to live view and play back your last photo. Press the little INFO button twice. This returns your live view to picture only.

Nope, that doesn't work nor what I needed. I want to turn off the histogram blocking half of my screen so I can't even frame the photo. Anyone?

Your camera sounds like it needs to be repaired. But, judging from the age of it, Canon may no longer support repairs on that model. Besides, a repair will likely cost more than buying a used Rebel, like a T5.

lol So I take it you don't know how either. Anyone else?

OK, I called Canon support & there is no INFO button on the T3. The 'DISP.' button is the one you have to press several times while in live mode to remove the histogram. No need to press play either.

And did they also tell you how to find some good manners to show to total strangers who were only trying to help you?

At the bottom, below the wheel on the back is a triangle. That is to view your last shot. View your last shot with this button then press "DISP" to cycle through the various photo analysis (histograms).

I understand your frustration. That has happened to me a couple of times and I've had to go through the whole remember what button to hit to turn it off. Also, as I recall, the T3 has the "DISP" button right where your thumb rests while holding the camera.

Good luck.

I was not rude at all, merely explaining what is accurate. Registered two days & you're already throwing a tantrum. lol

Thank you Tricia1! I had the same issue and that was a quick and easy fix. 🙂

I have a Canon Powershot ELP 110 HP. Had it for years. I was trying to turn off the HIsogram and this is what worked for me.

Turn on camera

Click the arrow button to play your pictures.

Click on Disp

Click on Disp again

This will show you the whole image on the screen.

Then to test it,

Turn off Camera

Turn of Camera

Go to Play and it should have retained your setting.

Thanks,

Don't know if anyone is still looking for the answer but it is:

Turn the camera on

Press the arrow or play button

Press DISP

Press DISP again

Turn the camera off and back on to see that it kept your settings

Should have a full screen picture now.

Thanks,

Clear the camera setting. I’ve been trying to clear for a couple of weeks now. Finally fixed. No more histogram continuously on the display.
