LCD MODE

This command adjusts the brightness of the LCD screen. You may need 
to increase the LCD screen’s brightness when the ambient light is bright 
so you can see the data displayed on the LCD. Changing the LCD screen 
brightness does not affect the resulting pictures or videos.

Note: Regardless of the setting, in bright environments the LCD screen 
may not be bright enough to view the data and image adequately. In 
these cases, shield the LCD with your hand, reposition the LCD screen, or 
switch to using the viewfinder.
