Histogram, can it be made bigger?

[Pete Prue]

Hi all, 

I've just got myself an A7r III and I'm wondering if it's possible to select a bigger histogram? What I have at present is tiny considering that this (the histogram) is the single most important piece of information about an image any camera or system can provide. With the tiny histogram I have it's impossible to accurately see if there's any clipping at either end.

I don't think that you can. I seldom use the rear screen when I'm setting up a shot and the histogram display in the EVF is more than enough for me to see if there is any clipping.

Keep in mind the histogram is based on JPEG-output. RAW-files often have a bit more headroom. Did you try zebra-stripes? This is also a visual aid to detect clipping in live display.

Cheers guys. I should have added that I'm shooting mostly with strobes and therefore it's my post exposure histogram that is important to me. I've come from Pentax where it was possible to have the image review overlaid with a histogram the width of the screen. With the tiny histogram I find it hard to see if I've clipped.

Maybe I'll have to get used to using the zebra stripes. Are these able to be displayed on an image in review?
