Shooting Info
Display
The Shooting Info Display shows some of
the same shooting information that appears
in the viewfi nder, but there are also some
settings that are only displayed here. When
this is displayed on the LCD, you can view
and change the settings without looking
through the viewfi nder. To view this screen,
simply press the Information (info) button
near the right side of the LCD. The informa-
tion remains on display until no buttons
have been pushed for about 8 seconds or
until the Shutter Release button is pressed.
This display shows you almost everything
you need to know about your camera set-
tings. This display comes in handy when the
camera is set up on a tripod or if your eyes
aren't very good and you have trouble see-
ing the LCD control panel.
