Notes on automatic viewfinder/monitor switching
Automatic viewfinder/monitor switching enables the eye sensor to switch the display to the
viewfinder automatically when you bring your eye or an object near it.
• If you enable the automatic viewfinder/monitor switching function and display the On-monitor
recording information screen
on the monitor, [Power Save LVF Shooting] in [Economy]
can be used, allowing you to reduce the battery consumption.
• Eye sensor might not work properly depending on the shape of your eyeglasses, the way you
hold the camera, or bright light shining around the eyepiece. In that case, press [LVF] to switch
the display.
• During motion picture playback or a slide show, the camera does not automatically switch the
display to the Viewfinder with the eye sensor.
• The eye sensor does not work depending on the angle of the monitor.
The shutter button works in two steps. To take a picture, press it.
Press the shutter button halfway to focus.
A
Aperture value
B
Shutter speed
C
Focus indication
• Aperture value and shutter speed are displayed.
(It will flash in red if the correct exposure is not achieved, except
when set to flash.)
• Once the subject is in focus, the focus indication is displayed.
(When the subject is not in focus, the indication flashes.)
Press the shutter button fully (push it in further),
and take the picture.
Shutter button (Taking pictures)
• Pictures cannot be taken until focus is achieved when [Focus/Release Priority]
is set to [FOCUS].
• Even during menu operation or image playback, if you press the shutter button halfway, you
can instantly set the camera ready for recording.
