[197] Customizing the camera Monitor/viewfinder settings
Bright Monitoring
Allows you to adjust the composition when shooting in dark environments. By extending the
exposure time, you can check the composition on the viewfinder/monitor even in dark locations
such as under the night sky.
Note
During [Bright Monitoring], [Live View Display] will automatically switch to [Setting Effect OFF], and
setting values such as exposure compensation will not be reflected in the live view display. It is
recommended that you use [Bright Monitoring] only in dark locations.
[Bright Monitoring] will be automatically cancelled in the following situations.
When the camera is turned off.
When the mode dial is turned.
When the focus mode is set to other than manual focus.
When [Focus Magnifier] is selected.
During [Bright Monitoring], the shutter speed may be slower than normal while shooting in dark
locations. Also, because the measured brightness range is expanded, the exposure may change.
