Using the LCD Panel
The whole monitor unit can be rotated 270º sideways allowing for

can position the LCD panel at a comfortable angle whatever the

NOTES
Using the handle unit (A 45), you can attach the monitor unit in a number of different positions for maximum
flexibility by attaching it to the front, top or rear accessory shoe.
When you use a commercially available lens adapter and the image on the screen is inverted, you can use the
[System Setup] > [Custom Function] > [Scan Reverse Rec] setting (A 149) to return the image to the
correct orientation.
You can turn off the LCD screen by setting [¢ Picture/Terminals Setup] > [Select Monitoring Devices] to an
option that does not include [LCD].
About the LCD and viewfinder screens: The screens are produced using extremely high-precision manufacturing
techniques, with more than 99.99% of the pixels operating to specification. Very rarely, pixels may misfire or
may light up permanently as white dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a
malfunction.
You can use the viewfinder and watch
the LCD screen at the same time
