Control Setting:
Use this option to enable or disable the Live Guide, Live
Control, and Super Control Panel (SCP) displays. The earlier section
“Monitoring and Adjusting Photography Settings” explains.

EVF Adjust:
If you attach the optional electronic viewfinder, you can
use this feature to adjust the display brightness and color temperature.
Otherwise it’s dimmed in the menu and unavailable, as in Figure 1-35.
Refer to my comments about the related control for adjusting the moni-
tor, in the preceding section, to find out more about this setting and why
I suggest you ignore it.

Backlit LCD:
By default, the monitor display dims slightly after an
8-second period of activity to save battery power. If you want to adjust
this timing, visit this menu option. You can increase the automatic dim-
ming delay to 30 seconds or one minute. Or you can disable the dimming
feature entirely by choosing the Hold setting.
