DISPLAY BUTTON - RECORDING MODE

The display button controls the LCD monitor display. The display cycles to the next position each time
the button is pressed: full display, live image only, and monitor off. If the display button is pressed and
held, the LCD-brightness adjustment screen will be displayed, see page 76.

Battery power can be conserved by turning the monitor off and using the viewfinder to take pictures.
However, because of parallax, the monitor should be used for subjects closer than 1m (3ft.) at the
zoom lens' wide-angle position or 3m (10ft) at the telephoto position.
When the flash-mode or menu button is pressed, the monitor will automatically turn on. The battery-
condition and date-imprinting indicators can appear on the live image only display. The digital zoom is
canceled and the AF area and exposure-compensation setting is fixed when the monitor is off. The
monitor cannot be turned off in audio or movie recording. When the LCD monitor is off, it will auto-
matically activate for the instant playback period. When auto reset is active, the LCD monitor will be
reset to the full display when the camera is turned off.
