live histo on C-5060

Hi all! This looks like it would be a great tool (live histograph) does anyone that owns this camera (Olympus C-5060) use this tool when taking UW photo's? And if not is there a reason.

Live histo is really only good for pure ambient light exposure. The live histo can never show the effect of the flash, prior to exposure. And 99% of uw photos are with flash.

Post exposure histogram in quick review is very helpful! Nearly all cams have it now.

The 5060 sadly lacks in final shutter lag, and there may be better digicams on the market for uw now - canon G6, Pro1, Sony V3. Possibly the nikon 8400. And a bunch to be announced at the biggest annual trade show each year, PMA, in a couple more weeks...
