Switching between displays

The camera uses an eye sensor to automatically switch between the viewfinder and monitor displays. The viewfinder and monitor display (super control panel/live view) also show information on camera settings. Options are available for controlling display switching and choosing the information shown.

The camera monitor displays the super control panel (“On LV Super Control Panel/Super Control Panel”) by default.

Framing photos in the viewfinder

The viewfinder turns on automatically when you bring it to your eye. When the viewfinder is lit up, the monitor turns off.

Framing photos in the monitor

The monitor shows the super control panel. It changes to live view when you press the U (LV) button.

• If the viewfinder is not in focus, put your eye to the viewfinder and focus the display by rotating the diopter adjustment dial.
