Advanced Settings (M-REC): LCD On/Off
LCD On/Off
By default, the color LCD monitor comes on when the camera
is turned on and must be turned off by pressing the MONITOR
switch. To save power, however, the monitor can be set to
turn off when the selector dial is turned to M-REC mode, to be
turned on as desired using the MONITOR switch. To change
this setting, highlight
LCD ON/OFF
in the shooting menu and
press the shutter button. The following window will appear.

To have the monitor turn off when the selector dial is set to M-
REC, highlight
NO
and press the shutter button. The word
OFF
will appear in the shooting menu next to
LCD ON/
OFF
, indicating that the monitor will not come on the next
time M-REC is selected after turning the camera off. The
monitor can be set to remain on in M-REC mode by highlight-
ing
YES
and pressing the shutter button, in which case
ON
will
appear in the shooting menu next to
LCD ON/OFF
. Note
that even when
YES
is chosen, setting the selector dial to M-
REC will not cause the monitor to come on if it has been
turned off using the MONITOR button. In this case the moni-
tor must be turned on by pressing the MONITOR button again.
This setting affects M-REC mode only. The LCD monitor will
always come on when the selector dial is turned from OFF to
A-REC or PLAY, regardless of the setting chosen in the
LCD
ON/OFF
window.
To return to the shooting menu without changing the monitor’s
on/off settings, highlight
BK
and press the shutter button, or
press the MENU button to restore the view through the lens.
