3.0” Xtra Fine LCD
Enhanced operating ease
920,000-dot (approx.) resolution for
ultra-sharp image display
On-the-spot image review is one of the fundamen-
tal benefits of digital photography, and the
maximizes that advantage with a big, new 3.0” Xtra
Fine LCD. Boasting a pixel count approximately
four times higher, and contrast approximately 2.8
times higher, than our previous 2.5” monitor, it has
a screen display resolution of 270 ppi —higher
even than the 200 ppi resolution that is generally
acknowledged to be the upper limit of what the
human eye can distinguish. Hybrid construction
and AR (Anti-Reflective) coating assure that fine
details are easy to see even when viewing the
monitor outdoors.
Convenient new RGB histogram and
index display options
The 's new 3.0” Xtra Fine LCD also offers a range
of new viewing and information display options. In
addition to conventional histogram and flashing
highlight/shadow warning displays, it offers an RGB
histogram color balance checking. There’s also a
view that displays five preceding/following frames
in addition to the current frame, greatly facilitating
best-shot selection from a series of bracketed or
sequential images. In index view, the monitor
can be set to display 4, 9, or 25 frames according
to preference.
