d8: Shooting Info Display

At the default setting of vAuto, the color of the lettering in the information display (pg. 10) will automatically change from black to white or white to black in response to ambient lighting conditions. To always use the same color lettering, select Manual and choose wDark on light (black lettering) or xLight on dark (white lettering). Monitor brightness will automatically be adjusted for maximum contrast with the selected text color.

This option is available in all shooting modes.

d9: LCD Illumination

At the default setting of Off, the control panel backlight (LCD illuminator) will only light while the power switch is in the Dposition. If On is selected, the control panel will be illuminated while the exposure meters are active (pg. 35). Select Off for increased battery life.

This option is available in all shooting modes.

d10: Exposure Delay Mode

At the default setting of Off, shutter is released when the shutter-release button is

pressed. In situations where the slightest camera movement can blur pictures, On

 

can be selected to delay shutter release until about 1 s after the shutter-release

 

button is pressed and the mirror is raised. This option is available in all shooting

 

modes.

 

d11: Flash Warning

 

 

 

In P, S, A, and M modes, the flash must be raised manually before use. If On (the default

flicker in the viewfinder when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway to warn

 

that the built-in flash is required. No warning will be displayed if Off is selected. This

 

option is available in P, S, A, and M modes only.
