Battery power can be conserved by turning the monitor off and using the viewfinder to
take pictures. However, because of parallax, the monitor should be used for subjects
closer than 1m (3ft.) at the zoom lens’ wide-angle position or 3m (10ft) at the telephoto
position.
When the flash-mode or menu button is pressed, the monitor will automatically turn on.
The battery-condition and date-imprinting indicators can appear on the live image only
display. The digital zoom is canceled and the AF area and exposure-compensation
setting is fixedwhen the monitor is off. The monitor cannot be turned off in audio or movie
recording. When the LCD monitor is off, it will automatically activate for the instant
playback period. When auto reset is active, the LCD monitor will be reset to the full
display when the camera is turned off.
