About the LCD Panel Display for SEF-36PZF
The SEF-36PZF will automatically convert the field angle differential between 35 mm format and the
GX-1S depending on the focal length of the lens you are using (when using D-XENON lenses).
The conversion indicator appears and the format size indicator disappears when the exposure
metering timer of the GX-1S is on (it returns to 35 mm format display when the exposure metering
timer is turned off).
