Using the LCD Monitor and Viewfinder

The LCD monitor can be opened to the following range of positions.

Opened from left to right 180 degrees. Tilted forward 180 degrees toward the lens or backward 90 degrees.

• When the LCD monitor is opened left 180 degrees and tilted 180 degrees toward the lens, the displayed image is automatically flipped and reversed (the Reverse Display function) so that it appears correctly from in front of the lens.
  
  

Fold the LCD monitor back against the camera body until it clicks into place. If it is not fully closed, the image will appear reversed. Always keep the LCD monitor closed to protect it when the camera is not in use.

Pressing the <DISPLAY> button switches the LCD monitor display mode. Also, closing the LCD monitor causes the viewfinder to display. The LCD display modes change with each press of the <DISPLAY> button.

Using the Viewfinder

If the surroundings are too bright (for example, when you are shooting outdoors) and images on the LCD monitor are not clear, use the viewfinder for shooting. Adjust the viewfinder focus with the diopter adjustment dial so the displayed information appears clearly. The viewfinders brightness level can be adjusted from within the camera's menu.

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 brightness of the image displayed in the monitor, and the brightness of the actual image recorded will be different (this function cannot be disabled).
