∫Monitor priority

When setting [PLAY ON LCD] to [ON] on the [SETUP] menu (P21), the LCD monitor is turned on in the following cases.

You can save the time it takes to switch the display to the LCD monitor even when using the Viewfinder in recording.

•When the recording mode is switched to playback mode.

•When reviewing pictures. (P43)

•When turning the camera on in playback mode.

∫Recording guide line

When you align the subject on the horizontal and vertical guide lines or the cross point of these lines, you can take pictures with well-designed composition by viewing the size, the slope and the balance of the subject.

∫Highlight display

When setting [HIGHLIGHT] to [ON] on the [SETUP] menu (P23) while the auto review or review function is activated, any white saturated area (extremely bright or glistening part) on the picture appears blinking in black and white.

•If you compensate the exposure to minus, referring to the histogram and then take a picture again, it may result in a good picture.
