LCD On/Off

By default, the LCD monitor comes on when the camera is turned on and can only be turned off by pressing the MONITOR button. While the LCD monitor is on, the camera adjusts focus continu- ously, providing a constant preview of the view through the lens. The settings in the LCD ON/OFF menu allow you to change the behavior of the monitor and autofocus in M-REC mode, saving power and increasing battery life. They also give you control over whether the camera displays the photographs in the LCD monitor immediately after shooting.
