Magnifying the Picture

To facilitate focus adjustments, you can magnify the picture by 2 times vertically and horizontally.

To magnify the picture, press the MAG button (see page 5 (E)). Each press toggles between magnified and normal display.

The magnified section can be selected from among the upper left, upper right, lower right, lower left, and center (factory default) of the picture.

Center

The center section is selected automatically the first time that you press the MAG button after powering the viewfinder on. Magnification does not affect the output signals of the camera.

To select the section to magnify, proceed as follows.

1 Press the MAG button, and keep it pressed for about 1.5 seconds or longer.

The viewfinder enters a mode in which you can select the section to magnify. The MAG indicator and the magnification section indicator appear in the upper part of the screen (see page 13 (E)).

At the same time, the LCD screen changes to magnified display.

2 Keep the MAG button held down, and release it when magnification section indicator shows the desired position.

While the button is held down, the selection changes about once every second between upper left, upper right, lower right, lower left, and center, in that order. The actually magnified section changes at the same time.

To return to normal display

Press the MAG button again.

The MAG indicator and magnification section indicator go out in the upper part of the screen, and the LCD screen returns to normal display.

To fix the center section as the magnification section

Set setting switch 4 to (see page 8 (E)) the ON (bottom side) position.

The magnification section is fixed as the center section, which makes it easy to adjust the focus. About 5 seconds after the MAG button is pressed to select magnified display, the screen automatically returns to normal display. Press the MAG button again if you want to return to normal display more quickly. To prevent the screen from returning to normal display, keep the MAG button pressed.
