Histogram display EOS70D

[Jane4]

How do I see the histogram on the diaplay before taking my shot.  I can only find it when reviewing my picture.

Yes it was the Expo simulation option which needed to be enabled. I now have a histogram display.  Thanks everyone

The 70D does not have an EVF, it is a direct optical path to the viewfinder, as such there is a limit to the amount of information they can display - but they do cram an awful lot in there!

Well, yeah, the 70D, like most DSLRs, doesn't have an eye-level EVF. But as John points out, the live view screen does function as an EVF.
