About the LCD panel

■■■
Characteristics of the LCD panel
• Due to the directional characteristics of LCDs, the LCD display is difficult to read when
viewed from above. However, the display can be seen clearly from a somewhat lower
angle.
• The LCD display becomes darker at high temperatures (approx. 60°C/140°F), but
returns to normal at normal temperatures (20°C/68°F).
• The LCD's response time slows down at low temperatures (approx. 5°C/41°F and
below), but returns to normal at normal temperatures (20°C/68°F).

Using the SB-800 in dim light
Press any button on the SB-800 to turn the illuminator on (when the SB-800
power is on), and it will remain lit for approx. 16 seconds.
• To cancel the LCD panel illumination, go to the Custom settings mode
set it off.
• Even if the LCD panel illuminator is set to OFF, the SB-800's LCD panel illuminator turns
on when the camera's LCD panel illuminator is turned on. The LCD panel illuminator also
lights up when the Custom settings mode is displayed.
