Viewfinder (continued)
1 Set the POWER switch to ON.
2 Press the OPEN button in the direction shown
by arrow (1) to open the LCD.
It can open out to 120 degrees. Do not try to
open it further as this will damage the camera.
3 Position the LCD monitor where it is easiest to
see.
• The monitor can be rotated 180° toward the
lens and 90° toward you.
• Do not apply unnecessary force to the open
LCD. This can damage the camera.
Emphasizing the outlines of the images you see in
the viewfinder or on the LCD makes it easier to
focus.
Emphasizing the outlines does not effect the
images you shoot.
1 In CAMERA mode, press EVF DTL/END
SEARCH.
• “EVF DTL ON” appears on the screen for
about 2 seconds.
Press EVF DTL/END SEARCH again to return
to the original display. “EVF DTL OFF” appears
on the screen for about 2 seconds.
Using the LCD
• Ensure the LCD is fully closed.
• Both the LCD and viewfinder come on when you
have rotated the LCD to face in the same
direction as the lens for self-portrait shooting.
