DISPLAY SELECTION

Vertical Display

The horizontal/vertical operation automatically changes the orienta- tion of the navigation display, when the camera’s position is changed to a vertical or horizontal position.

Only the detailed and large-icon display are able to be displayed verti- cally. All others remain in the horizontal orientation.

If you want the display to remain in the horizontal orientation, regard- less of the camera’s position, choose Custom 32-2 (p. 186).

Operation Display

The operation display appears whenever you operate a camera dial or function that is not currently on the display. The new settings will appear for 5 seconds. When the detailed display has been select- ed, the operation display will not appear.

Example below shows the large icon display. When continuous (high-speed) drive mode is selected, the display changes to the operation display showing the new change, and then returns to the large icon display 5 seconds later.

During the display’s 5 second period, pressing the shutter-release but- ton partway down will return the display to the previous display.

To cancel this display, select Custom 28-2 (p. 184).
