You can adjust the angle and the display
conditions of the LCD monitor for the best view
in various shooting situations.
These adjustments of the LCD monitor have no
effect on pictures being recorded.
Turning on/off the LCD monitor
The LCD monitor turns on when it is opened and
turns off when it is returned to the park position.
To open, pull the monitor out horizontally from
the park position to rotate it 90 degrees.
Adjusting the angle
Rotate the opened LCD monitor to the desired
angle.
It can be rotated as much as 90 degrees in the
direction facing the subject and as much as 180
degrees in the opposite direction.
When you rotate it 90 degrees toward the subject,
the image on the monitor becomes upside down,
indicating the mirror image of the subject. The
display direction of the textual information is
converted to the readable direction.
Adjusting the backlight

The backlight may not be necessary for viewing
images on the LCD monitor under bright ambient

you can adjust the brightness of the backlight,
using the LCD and – buttons.

the + button to make it brighter.
