The Monitor
During shooting, the monitor shows the view through the camera lens,
together with icons indicating the status of various camera settings (see op-
posite). The monitor is also used to display pictures during quick review (
74) and playback ( 75).
Using the Monitor
Do not apply excessive force to the monitor when it is folded out from the camera
body. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the hinge that connects the
monitor to the camera.
When the Monitor Is in the Storage Position
The only controls that can be used when the monitor is off are the shutter-release
and zoom buttons (optical zoom only). To use digital zoom (
26) and other camera
controls, fold the monitor out.
