[QUOTE="mike3996, post: 398482, member: 13646"] There are different screens for playback in Df. I assume this is more or less 100% unified across all Nikon DSLRs. If I enable that playback screen called "Highlights" in Df menu then it is available but it's a separate screen. It won't show me anything else other than the highlights blinking. Per RGB channel, nice. But still. A one liner of ISO, Shutter, Aperture and this would be perfect. [SIZE=3][This is how Leica M can be configured. A tiny bit suboptimal because I don't know how much headroom I'd have for pushing exposure (no histogram) but this is nondistracting and satisfactory way to go about it.][/SIZE] Because of that limited information I usually just have Overview screen active. It won't show blinkies. It would be okay if it did. It shows a histogram that doesn't take half of the screen. Good. Let's check the Z6/7 user manual and browse the relevant pages. Hmm. Not much of an exposé here either, tersely written as always. Reading between the lines (page 126) one could conduct that Df and Z6 behave identically here. Z series being mirrorless it's particularly painful that Nikon doesn't offer blinkies in preview. This peeve of mine is kind of irrational because Nikons have the best and most forgiving dynamic range out there but still it would be satisfying to have an unintrusive way to keep exposure within good limits. [SIZE=3]Leica Q did this perfectly: on half-press of the shutter you got WYSIWYG exposure preview and optional blinkies. Informational distractions driven to a logical and usable minimum.[/SIZE] Panasonic S5 is a particularly strong contender against Z5/6 as it has everything great going on for it. But perhaps autofocus using CDAF is not the perfect idea, meanwhile 2.36 megapixel EVF doesn't seem like a satisfying idea for a manual focuser. And that fully articulating screen, argh. :) [/QUOTE]
