NOTES

• About the LCD and viewfinder screens: The screens are produced using 

extremely high-precision manufacturing techniques, with more than 
99.99% of the pixels operating to specification. Less than 0.01% of the 
pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as black, red, blue or green 
dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute 
a malfunction.

• By default, the viewfinder screen is turned off while you use the LCD 

screen. However, you can also use both displays simultaneously. See 
the following section.

• You can set the LCD screen to black & white (0 35).

• When you use a commercially available lens adapter and the image on 

the screen is inverted, you can use the [J Other Functions] 

 [Custom 

Function] 

 [Scan Reverse Rec] setting to return the image to the 

correct orientation.

Using the Viewfinder and LCD Screen Simultaneously

By default, the viewfinder screen is turned off while you use the LCD 
screen. Follow the procedure below to use both of them simultaneously.
