BASIC OPERATION

DISPLAY CONTROLS - RECORDING MODE

Located on the back of the camera, the display-mode switch and the display- information button control on which monitor the image is displayed and what information is included in the display. The three position switch allows the choice between automatic display and setting the display to the EVF or LCD monitor.

Auto display - the camera will automatically change between displaying the live image in the EVF or on the LCD monitor. The EVF’s eye sensors monitor if the EVF is being used and switches the display location accordingly.

EVF display - the live image will only be displayed in the electronic viewfinder. Under bright-light, the image is easier to see in the EVF than on the LCD monitor.

In the center of the display switch, the display-information button controls what information is displayed with the live image. Each time the button is pressed, the display cycles to the next format: full display (shooting data, warnings, and focus frame), warnings and focus frame, live image only.

LCD monitor display - the live image will only be displayed on the

LCD monitor.

If battery power is a concern, have the eye sensor activate the EVF when in use, but not the LCD monitor. The auto-display function can be changed in the custom 2 section of the setup menu (p. 114).

Full display

Live image only

Warnings and focus frame
