Automatic switching between viewfinder and monitor

For automatic switching between the viewfinder and monitor, the eye sensor automatically switches the display to viewfinder when your eye or an object moves close to the viewfinder.

••During motion picture playback or Slide Show, the eye sensor will not automatically switch the display to the viewfinder.
