Screen brightness is automatically increased by the night display function when 
you are shooting under low light, making it easier to check how shots are 
composed. However, on-screen image brightness may not match the 
brightness of your shots. Note that any on-screen image distortion or jerky 
subject motion will not affect recorded images.
