Regardless of the current mode, if you zoom in on the image or zoom out to the thumbnails,
the display reverts to showing the “standard” prev iew frame, which shows information

Note that the screen can also operate in menu mode, which does not show a preview, but
enables you to make digital back settings. To enter menu mode, press the menu button.
