Advanced Settings (M-REC): LCD On/Off

LCD On/Off

By default, the color LCD monitor comes on when the camera
is turned on and must be turned off by pressing the MONITOR
switch. To save power, however, the monitor can be set to
turn off when the selector dial is turned to M-REC mode, to be
turned on as desired using the MONITOR switch. To change
this setting, highlight LCD ON/OFF in the shooting menu and
press the shutter button. The following window will appear.

To have the monitor turn off when the selector dial is set to M-
REC, highlight NO and press the shutter button. The word
OFF will appear in the shooting menu next to LCD ON/
OFF
, indicating that the monitor will not come on the next
time M-REC is selected after turning the camera off. The
monitor can be set to remain on in M-REC mode by highlight-
ing YES and pressing the shutter button, in which case ON will
appear in the shooting menu next to LCD ON/OFF. Note
that even when YES is chosen, setting the selector dial to M-
REC will not cause the monitor to come on if it has been
turned off using the MONITOR button. In this case the moni-
tor must be turned on by pressing the MONITOR button again.

This setting affects M-REC mode only. The LCD monitor will
always come on when the selector dial is turned from OFF to
A-REC or PLAY, regardless of the setting chosen in the LCD
ON/OFF
window.

To return to the shooting menu without changing the monitor’s
on/off settings, highlight BK and press the shutter button, or
press the MENU button to restore the view through the lens.
