Canon PowerShot SD30

Night Display

When shooting in dark conditions, the camera automatically 
brightens the LCD monitor to suit the brightness of the subject*, 
making it easier to frame the subject.

* Noise will appear, and the movements of the subject will appear irregular in 

the LCD monitor. The recorded image will not be affected. The brightness of 
the image displayed in the monitor, and the brightness of the actual image 
recorded will be different.
