it will go

the display

To automatically display the playback screen on the LCD monitor
When [Play on LCD] (→37) of the [Setup] menu is set to [ON], the LCD monitor will turn
on when the camera is switched from recording mode to playback mode. This operation
eliminates the time needed to switch between LCD monitor and Live View Finder when
recording pictures using Live View Finder.
