If On is selected, the information display will appear after the shutter-release button
is pressed halfway; if image review (
0 130) is off, it will also be displayed immediately
after shooting. Choose On if you find yourself frequently referring to the information
display during shooting. If Off is selected, the information display can be viewed by
pressing the
P button.
When connecting the camera to a television or VCR, be sure the camera video mode
matches the device video standard (NTSC or PAL).
Reduce flicker and banding when shooting under fluorescent or mercury-vapor
lighting during live view or movie recording. Choose a frequency which matches
that of the local AC power supply.
Change time zones, set the camera clock, choose the date
display order, and turn daylight saving time on or off.

If you are unsure as to the frequency of the local power supply, test both options and choose
the one that produces the best results. Flicker reduction may not produce the desired results
if the subject is very bright, in which case you should select mode A or M and choose a smaller
aperture (larger f-number).
