About the LCD panel

Characteristics of the LCD panel
• Due to the directional characteristics of LCDs, the LCD panel is difficult to read
when viewed from above. However, it can be seen clearly from a somewhat
lower angle.
• The LCD panel 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).
LCD panel illuminator ON/OFF
Press any button on the SB-900 to turn the illuminator on (when the SB-900 power
is on) and make the LCD panel easier to read.
• The illuminator goes off if the SB-900 is not operated for 16 seconds.
• To cancel the LCD panel illumination, go to the custom setting (kC-24) and
turn it off.
• Even if the LCD panel illuminator is set to OFF, the SB-900's LCD panel
illuminator turns on when the camera's control panel illuminator is turned on.
The LCD panel illuminator also lights up when the custom setting is displayed.
Adjusting the LCD panel's contrast
The contrast of the LCD panel can be adjusted in the custom setting (kC-25).
• There are nine contrast levels.
