8 Getting to Know the Camera
This section outlines how to use various camera controls and
displays.
The Viewfinder
Placing your eye to the viewfinder
activates the eye sensor, switching the
display from the monitor to the
viewfinder (note that the eye sensor will
also respond to other objects, such as
your fingers). The viewfinder can be used
for menus and playback if desired.
The Monitor Mode Button
Press the monitor mode button to cycle
between viewfinder and monitor
displays.
Camera Controls
D The Diopter Adjustment Control
To focus the viewfinder, lift and rotate the
diopter adjustment control, being careful
not to put your fingers or fingernails in your
eye. Push the control back in once focus is
adjusted to your satisfaction.
A Extended Use
When using the viewfinder for extended periods, you can adjust
viewfinder brightness and hue for ease of viewing by selecting Off for
Custom Setting d8 (Apply settings to live view).
A Monitor Mode
You can limit the choice of monitor modes available using the Limit
monitor mode selection option in the setup menu.
