Might be, although it isn't simple to use on the E-20, unfortunately. Unlike
most functions, it isn't a "button" operation. I think you have to go into
setup and traverse a menu tree to get histograms to show up, which I don't want
most of the time, so I end up not using it very often.
The E-20 is generally very quick and simple to use, but SOME things are buried
in menus.
