You should be able to change the amount of time the display is lit up. It is probably set on 3 seconds now. I moved mine to 5 seconds. I think 10 seconds may be another option.

Will do on taking pictures. We are going to the pacific highway into Chula Vista and then into Encinada Mexico. He does this every three weeks for work and because he is not home except on weekends, I go with him every 2-3 months for some alone time.

I have mine set up so that the histogram appears when the image pops up after I've taken the photograph. IIRC, pressing the info button while the image is up should allow you to change that.

This is an easy one. What is the name given to a no-longer-produced film camera that developed photos as soon as you took the shot?

I got it by pressing the "info" button while reviewing a picture.

Does anyone have any further questions about histograms? As I said, this is a very important topic for digital photographers, and I want to make certain you all understand how to interpret them.

Anyone?

@ Ivy:

Someone on the net said:

"Just hit the info button in review mode and it cycles through the three review modes and keeps the one you have selected until you change it. "

I can't seem to be able to change the time the review stays up. Oh well. I'll try to work with later.

So now I’m going to post a photo for all of us to critique. Critiquing makes us all better photographers, so learning how to see the positives and negatives of a photograph is paramount in your endeavors to become better photographers. As usual, at least one thing you see as a positive in the photo and at least one thing you see as a negative is a good start. At the end, I'll give my critique of it.

Oh, and usually I give the technical information about the photograph at the end, but alas, all that info is on my hard drive, which is not currently accessible. My recollection was that it was cloudy, there was a several second-long shutter speed, and a fairly high (f/16 or so) f-stop. I broke my tripod getting into this canyon, so I had to perch the camera on a log to get this shot.

Ready? Go!

How much attention should less experienced photographers pay to the histogram? I'm not implying it should be ignored, but when first starting out, there is a lot to pay attention to: focus, exposure, depth of field, framing, etc. Where are histograms in order of importance?

It should be a menu option. That strikes me as a pretty simple option for Canon to include.
