Components Guide

The viewfinder or LCD monitor can be used to see and compose the actual image
as it will be recorded.

In shooting mode, the display can be switched between the viewfinder and the
LCD monitor.
• The LCD monitor turns on when it is opened.
• The LCD monitor turns off and the viewfinder turns on when the LCD monitor is

closed.

• Images can be replayed on the LCD monitor only.
• When the LCD monitor is difficult to see outdoors or in bright surroundings, adjust

the LCD Brightness setting in the Set up menu (p. 103) or use the viewfinder to
shoot.

• When the LCD monitor is folded back against the camera body (p. 35), pressing

the 

 (Index) button switches the display to the viewfinder. Pressing the 

button a second time switches the display back to the LCD monitor.

Pressing the Display button cycles the LCD monitor to the next mode each time the
button is pressed.

The display mode switches between “no information” and “information view”
each time the Display button is pressed.

• The camera shake warning icon 

 will appear at the center of the viewfinder or

LCD monitor in low light conditions while the camera is preparing to shoot. When
this icon appears, use the flash or fix the camera to a tripod to shoot.

• The display mode [on (no information); on (information view)] is memorized when

the camera is turned off. When the camera is turned on again it assumes the last
mode.

• The LCD monitor will display relevant information for about six seconds when the

power is turned on, or a shooting mode or menu setting is changed, even if the
display mode is set to “no information”.

• The LCD monitor cannot display any information when it is opened to the left and

tilted 180

o

 toward the lens (so that it can be seen from in front of the camera) (p. 35).
