Most can, however with many when you switch to that display you lose a lot of the other info which is annoying. I don't understand why all manufacturers don't let you be able to customise the display like you can with Olympus so you can have the stuff on there that you want
That's what I mean, you can either have a display showing your shooting settings etc, one showing just the histogram, one showing a level etc etc but not all together or being able to decide what you want to see. With Olympus I had it set so that I had some of the shooting info, histogram and clipping all shown at the same timeI've never seen any loss of info. My Panasonic cameras have the best display customisation but with the Sony it's mostly ok my only problem being that I can have the level or the histogram but not both, not in the same display. Pressing the display button does however allow me to step though displays to get either the histogram or level, as far as I can remember.

All at the same time, or do you have to press the disp button to go from shooting settings to histogram? Or do you mean the screen that has all that info but no image?With the Sony A7 I have everything I need shooting settings wise plus either the level or histogram but with either I can't see anything else that's missing. I've never seen a display which has just the histogram or level, as in just one of those and nothing else.

With Sony this is the cycle of displays

What I'd ideally like is a combo of the first and third screen, but not quite as much info as the first one. Not asking for much am I You can customise these screens on Olympus though, and I don't know why Sony, Nikon and Canon don't allow you to do the same.
TBH I don't want 90% of it, but some of the info such as metering mode and WB are useful.Golly I couldn't be doing with all that. Maybe that's the answer, I just have the basic shooting info and the battery symbol so maybe that's why I haven't run into any lack of info scenarios.
On a DSLR this is possible also in live view.
This really - with evf there's very few occasions when a histogram would be useful.With mirrorless as well wysiwyg applies so once your confident with your camera you don’t really need a histogram .. get very few Olympus raw files I can’t adjust fairly easy

That’s true a lot of the time but sometimes when shooting in bright sunshine for example it’s not always exact as stray light through the viewfinder etc can impact on the contrast and shadows etc in which case a histogram can be useful. That being said I tend to just rely on the viewfinder and my metering technique.This really - with evf there's very few occasions when a histogram would be useful.
