I have a quick question about the image review functionality on the Z6 and Z7.
I expect it to work the same way as on Nikon DSLRs. When you're viewing an image, press the up/down keys to cycle through various information displays - EXIF data, histograms, highlights, etc. (And on the Z6/Z7, the DISP button offers the same functionality.)
But I have a Z6 and a Z7 here, and none of that functionality worked. The buttons worked, the image review worked, but those buttons didn't do anything in playback mode.
I did a bit of investigation and it looks to me like Nikon have made a subtle change to the way the playback menu works. There's a menu item called 'Playback display options' where you can select which image information is available - highlights yes/no, histograms yes/no, etc. The change, however, is that on DSLRs those menu choices are preserved when you reset the camera, whereas on the Z6/Z7 they are reset when you reset the camera. The default settings on the Z6/Z7 are for no information, and that explains why I thought the functionality wasn't working.
So: Can anybody confirm that my analysis is correct? And if so, is there a workaround or a way of changing the behaviour?
