ECORDING MODE
The display-information button controls the LCD monitor display. The display cycles to the next
position each time the button is pressed: full display, live image only, and monitor off. If the display
button is pressed and held, the LCD-brightness adjustment screen will appear, see page 44.
Battery power can be conserved by turning the monitor off and using the viewfinder to take pictures.
However, because of parallax, the monitor should be used for subjects closer than 1m (3ft.) at the
zoom lens’ wide-angle position or 3m (10ft) at the telephoto position. When the flash-mode or menu
button is pressed, the monitor will automatically turn on. The digital zoom is disabled when the
monitor is off. The monitor cannot be turned off in audio or movie recording. When the LCD monitor
is off, it will automatically activate for the instant playback period.
