Using the Touch Panel

The monitor screen of the camera is a touch panel. This means you can perform the following operations by touching the screen with your fingers.

Touch

Momentarily touching the screen with your finger. Touch the screen to select an icon or menu item, and to configure settings.

Touch-and-hold

Holding your finger against the screen.

Touch and hold the screen to scroll images at high speed, or to perform continual frame-by-frame playback of a movie.

Drag

Holding your finger against the screen as you drag it up, down, left, or right.

Use drag to move a screen image to a different location, and to scroll between images.

IMPORTANT!

Never use a pointed or hard object to perform screen operations. Doing so can damage the screen.

The touch panel is pressure-sensitive. Make sure you touch the panel with sufficient pressure when operating it.

NOTE

Applying a commercially available LCD protective sheet will reduce the operation sensitivity of the monitor screen.

If touch panel item selections are not performed as expected, calibrate the touch panel (page 88).
