The histogram can be displayed when [Expo. simulation: Enable] has been set (p.158).

You can display the electronic level by pressing the <B> button (p.266). Note that if the AF mode is set to [uLive mode] or the camera is connected to a TV set with an HDMI cable, the electronic level cannot be displayed.

When <g> is displayed in white, it indicates that the Live View image brightness is close to what the captured image will look like.

If <g> is blinking, it indicates that the Live View image is not being displayed at the suitable brightness due to low or bright light conditions. However, the actual image recorded will reflect the exposure setting.

If flash is used or bulb is set, the <g> icon and histogram will be grayed out (for your reference). The histogram might not be properly displayed in low- or bright-light conditions.
