You may set the flash, continuous mode, self-timer, macro,
infinity and metering mode settings while this information
is displayed.

recorded image appears on the LCD monitor for 2 to 10
seconds (1-second increments). It will continue to display if

data. (Press the
button if the histogram and other
information is not shown) If the exposure requires
adjustment, set the exposure compensation and reshoot.
