A LCD Illuminators
Rotating the power switch toward D
activates the exposure meters and the
control panel backlight (LCD
illuminator), allowing the displays to be
read in the dark. After the power switch
is released, the illuminators will remain
lit for six seconds (at default settings)
while the exposure meters are active or
until the shutter is released or the power switch is rotated toward D again.
A Auto Meter Off
At default settings, the shutter speed and aperture displays in the control
panel and viewfinder will turn off if no operations are performed for about
six seconds (auto meter off), reducing the drain on the battery.
Press the
shutter-release button halfway to reactivate the display in the viewfinder
(pg. 54).
The length of time before the exposure meters turn off automatically can
be adjusted using Custom Setting c2 (Auto meter-off delay, pg. 296).
A Camera Off Display
If the camera is turned off with a battery and
memory card inserted, the frame count and
number of exposures remaining will be displayed
(some memory cards may only display this
information when the camera is on).
