On the 6D, being able to get a RAW histogram is essential (the gap between YUV and RAW is about 1.5).

On my 550d, with ML, I can get a RAW histogram in the review mode as I cycle through images. All I do is select the Q and up pops the RAW histogram.

On my 6D, with ML, the RAW histogram only shows up in the immediate delay after capturing an image.

I've (1) skimmed through numerous forums and (2) tried lots of different ML configurations, but the 6D doesn't expose the RAW histogram after I've gone on to capture another image and then look back at older ones.

Am I missing a subtle configuration requirement ?

Thanks

Why does Canon (and, apparently, all other manufacturers) set different grey point EV between jpgs and RAW ? It's been so frustrating, until I finally started paying attention to ML. Thank you ML !

While, the RAW histogram is available in LV mode, it's not always the perfect solution (for instance, using flash where the EV is checked after the capture). Having the RAW histogram in the image review is beautiful. I'm nailing moments that would have been more of a challenge. W/o accurate EV, I'm dependent on the jpg histogram, which is about +1.5 EV over the RAW on my 6D.

Just saying thank you.
