About Advanced Focusing Screen Display
The new Advanced Focusing Screen Display of the FinePix S3 Pro employs the convenient Vari-Brite
Focus Area display system; it enables clear display of the focus brackets at the selected focus area in
the viewfinder for easy identification. When the finder image is bright, the focus brackets are displayed
in black and when the finder image is dark, the focus brackets are momentarily illuminated in red. The
selected focus area can be identified easily in both bright and dark conditions with this function.
Also, the new Advanced Focusing Screen Display allows the superimposition of On-Demand Grid
Lines. The grid lines can be displayed by using Custom Setting Menu #2 (P.111). These grids assist
you in composing the frame, in taking landscape pictures or in shifting/tilting PC-Nikkor lenses.
Due to characteristics of the LCD used in the Vari-Brite Focus Area display system, a thin line
outside the selected focus area may also be displayed or the entire viewfinder may be illuminated in
red under certain conditions. These are not malfunctions.
