The Color LCD Monitor
When the selector dial is set to A-REC or M-REC, the color LCD monitor shows the view through the camera’s lens, adjusted for such settings as white balance, exposure, and digital zoom. When the dial is set to PLAY, the monitor displays the most recently recorded photograph. The MONI- TOR button below the monitor controls whether camera settings or record- ing information will be shown superimposed on the image displayed, and can also be used to turn the monitor off, increasing battery life. In manual (M-REC) and playback (PLAY) modes, pressing the MENU button causes the settings menus for the current mode to be displayed. The zoom-out (W/▼) and zoom-in (T/▲) buttons are used to highlight the various menu items. The currently highlighted menu item can be selected by pressing the shutter button.
