Using the SU-800 in low light

Press any button on the SU-800 to turn the illuminator on (when the SU-800’s power is on), and it will remain lit for about 16 seconds.

•The SU-800’s control button illuminator comes on when the camera’s LCD panel illuminator is turned on.

•The control button illuminator goes out when the shutter is released.

Characteristics of the LCD panel

•Due to the directional characteristics of LCDs, the LCD display is difficult to read when viewed from above. However, the display can be seen clearly from a somewhat lower angle.

•The LCD display becomes darker at high temperatures (approx. 60°C/140°F), but returns to normal at normal temperatures (20°C/68°F).

•The LCD’s response time slows down at low temperatures (approx. 5°C/41°F and below), but returns to normal at normal temperatures (20°C/68°F).
