Night Display
When shooting at dusk or during the evening when the dark
surroundings make it difficult to view the LCD monitor, the camera’s
“night view” option* displays the subject brightly in the LCD monitor.
This will allow you to compose a shot even in dark environments (this
setting cannot be turned off).
* Although noise may appear and the movement of the subject shown on the LCD
monitor may appear somewhat jagged, there is no effect on the recorded image.
The brightness of the image displayed in the monitor, and the brightness of the
actual image recorded will be different.
