Basic Operations

LCD Monitor Brightness Settings

The brightness of the LCD monitor can be changed in the following two

ways.

• Changing settings using the Set up menu (p.57)

• Changing settings using the DISP. button (Quick-bright LCD

Function)

You can set the LCD monitor to the brightest setting regardless of the

option selected in the Set up menu by pressing the DISP. button for

more than one second*.

- To restore the previous brightness setting, press the DISP. button

for more than one second again.

- The next time you turn on the camera, the LCD monitor will be at

the brightness setting selected in the Set up menu.

* You cannot change the brightness of the LCD monitor with this function if you have

already set it to its highest setting in the Set up menu.

zThe LCD monitor on or off setting is retained even after the

camera power is turned off.

zThe LCD monitor does not shut off in the , , , ,

or Movie mode.

zThe LCD monitor is set to the Information View in the ,

, , , or mode.

zThe LCD monitor will not switch to the detailed display or

focus check display in magnified display (p.118), or index

playback mode (p.119).

Night Display

When shooting at dusk or during the evening when the dark

surroundings make it difficult to view the LCD monitor, the camera’s

“night view” option* displays the subject brightly in the LCD monitor.

This will allow you to compose a shot even in dark environments (this

setting cannot be turned off).

* Although noise may appear and the movement of the subject shown on the LCD

monitor may appear somewhat jagged, there is no effect on the recorded image.

The brightness of the image displayed in the monitor, and the brightness of the

actual image recorded will be different.
