That’s interesting you mention the histogram. For three months I shot with the histogram and was thrilled to have such available such a powerful exposure tool. At one point, I realised that watching the histogram was getting between me and the image.
At about the same time, I also did some tests which showed my A7 III has a full stop and a half of headroom above the histogram (Sony definitely does not want photographers losing their highlights – part of their marketing proposition). So what I did on my A7 III was enable zebras but my custom zebras start at 106, i.e. theoretically over maximum exposure. This way I adjust to the maximum exposure pleasant still to my eyes (I don’t like EVF but if we have them let’s use them to the max). If I see zebras I know those are burnt out highlights and have to pull back or lose them.
Henceforth no need for histogram and its distractions or even level (I had a view with level as well). If I really want to see a histogram or level, the one view I left was the full info display which includes all camera settings, histogram and level. Amazingly, I need to use it very little as I’ve learned the histogram already.
So, strangely enough, even a histogram is distracting noise when shooting. Same applies to seeing the number of pixels in a crop on a full time basis. Distracting noise. And I’m cropping and changing aspect ratio all the time. This is functionality I use.
