limit. With the EOS D60, a maximum burst of 8 is possible in the RAW mode.
Continuous shooting in the RAW mode is therefore now more practical with the
EOS D60.
1.7 LCD panel
Except for the addition of Middle/Fine and
Middle/Normal, the information displayed is the
same as the EOS D30's LCD panel.
EOS D60 now has LCD panel illumination (EL
backlight).
When "LCD panel illumination" is enabled with
the on-screen menu, pressing the SET button
turns the LCD panel illumination on or off. The
illumination time is about 4 sec, but it will stay on
if you operate any buttons or dials to take a
picture.
* If C.Fn-12-1/2/3 (SET button function during shooting) has been set, pressing
SET will not turn off the LCD panel illumination (it will turn off automatically).
1.8 Built-in flash
It is the same as the EOS D30's built-in flash.
1.9 Basic operation concept and LCD panel display
1) Operation concept
The EOS D60's operation concept is based on the EOS D30. Regardless of what
mode the camera is currently in, the camera will immediately be able to take a
picture when you press the shutter button or any of the shooting-related buttons
(metering mode/flash exposure compensation button, drive mode button, AF
mode/WB button, AE/FE lock button, AF point selector).
2) LCD monitor
(1) LCD monitor
The 1.8-in. TFT color monitor on the back of the camera is the same size as the
EOS D30's. You can check the images you shot and view on-screen menus to
set various options.
The TFT color monitor has a sheet of material which increases the screen
brightness. The brightness at a viewing angle from 0ºC to about +/-40ºC is the
same as the EOS D30's TFT monitor. The brightness at viewing angles greater
than 40ºC is now much higher as shown in Fig. 2-13.
