Bright Monitoring
Allows you to adjust the composition when shooting in dark environments. By extending the exposure time, you can
check the composition on the viewfinder/monitor even in dark locations such as under the night sky.
Note
During [Bright Monitoring], setting values such as exposure compensation will not be reflected in the live view display. It is
recommended that you use [Bright Monitoring] only in dark locations.
[Bright Monitoring] will be automatically cancelled in the following situations.
When the camera is turned off.
When the shooting mode is changed from P/A/S/M to a mode that is not P/A/S/M.
When the focus mode is set to other than manual focus.
When [
MF Assist] is executed.
When [Focus Magnifier] is selected.
During [Bright Monitoring], the shutter speed may be slower than normal while shooting in dark locations. Also, because the
measured brightness range is expanded, the exposure may change.
