Turning the EVF on/off
With the factory setting, the EVF is turned on
when the LCD monitor is in its park position or is
rotated to face the subject.
You can change the setting so that the EVF is
always on regardless of the status in the LCD
monitor, using “EVF”
of the LCD/VF
SET menu. Change the “Power” setting from
“Auto” to “On.”
Adjusting the focus in the EVF
The eyepiece focusing (diopter compensation)
knob
enables adjustment to match the
eyesight of the operator, who can then view the
image clearly through the eyepiece.
Adjusting the backlight
The brightness of the backlight for the EVF can
be switched between High and Low.
Set “Backlight” in “EVF”
of the LCD/
VF SET menu.
Switching between color and
monochrome modes
For the EVF screen, color or monochrome display
can be selected.
Set “Mode” in “EVF”
of the LCD/VF
SET menu.
Select “B&W” if checking the subject and
focusing are easier on the monochrome display.
If you assign “EVF Mode” to one of the
assignable buttons
, you can switch
between color and monochrome by pressing the
button.
Adjusting the contrast and brightness
Use “EVF”
of the LCD/VF SET menu
to make adjustments. Adjusting the brightness
and other items has no effect on pictures being
recorded.
