34 RECORDING – BASIC OPERATION
The display button controls the LCD monitor display. The display cycles to the next position each
time the button is pressed: full display, live image only, and monitor off. If the display button is
pressed and held, the LCD-brightness adjustment screen will be displayed, see page 91.

Battery power can be conserved by turning the monitor off and using the viewfinder to take
pictures. However, because of parallax, the monitor should be used for subjects closer than 1m
(3ft.) at the zoom lens’ wide-angle position or 3m (10ft) at the telephoto position.
When the flash-mode or menu button is pressed, the monitor will automatically turn on. The battery-
condition and date-imprinting indicators can appear on the live image only display. The digital zoom
is canceled and the AF area and exposure-compensation setting is fixed when the monitor is off.
The monitor cannot be turned off in audio or movie recording. When the LCD monitor is off, it will
automatically activate for the instant playback period. When auto reset is active, the LCD monitor
will be reset to the full display when the camera is turned off.
