Parts of the Camera

Silent Mode

In situations in which camera sounds or lights may be unwelcome, press the DISP/BACK button until the o icon is displayed (about a second). The camera speaker, flash, and AF-assist illuminator/self-timer lamp turn off and flash and volume settings can not be adjusted (note that silent mode can not be enabled or disabled while movie playback is in prog- ress). Press the DISP/BACK button again to resume normal operation.

Control Lock

To avoid unintended operation of the selector and the Q and tbuttons during shooting, press MENU/OK until X is displayed. The controls can be unlocked by pressing MENU/OK until X is no longer displayed.

Bright Ambient Lighting

Reflections and glare caused by bright ambient lighting may make it hard to see the display in the moni- tor, particularly when the camera is used outdoors. This can be addressed by holding the Q button to trigger outdoor mode. Outdoor mode can also be enabled using the ASCREEN SET-UP> MONITOR SUNLIGHT MODE option in the setup menu (P84).
