How do I get to the histogram on nikon D80

SOURCE: Nikon D50

Press the down arrow on the navigation dial until it disappears. You may go through a couple of other on-screen indicators until you get back to where you want to be. The down arrow just scrolls through the various on-screen features (histogram, high light areas etc.).

When in playback mode, press the navigation dial up or down and you'll scroll through various information screens; highlight areas, histogram, exposure (exif) data etc.

SOURCE: deh778 question about Rgb histogram not turning off.

If you haven't solved the histogram issue by pressing the multi selector up or down or rotating the sub-command dial to choose photo information display then OK.  The D80 is a very reliable "prosumer" camera meaning it's more than a consumer model offering better quality and features commonly found on professional camera models, if you are a budding photographer and desire more control over the images you take and the options to take creative images working with the amount of light, the shutter speed and may other aspects the pros do then it's worth it, if those features are not important then having all the control might be a problem if that isn't what you are after.  Early digital cameras were pretty poor quality and could never compare to film cameras, even the early model D70 had some issues with battery life.  Take the time to learn about this camera and you will be very happy.  I know several professional photographers who use the D80 and find Nikon stands behind the camera.  If you have any other specific problems or issues let me know, I'd be glad to go over them.

I have a d80 and it is probably the same answer. Toogle the navigation button ( the one that you use to go through your photos with) UP and DOWN this will get you back to the regular screen.
