Although the viewfinder is produced under extremely high-
precision manufacturing conditions and more than 99.99% of the
pixels meet design specifications, in rare cases some pixels may
be defective or may appear as red or black dots. This does not
indicate camera damage or affect recorded images.

Some aspect ratio settings (= 52) will cause black bars to be
displayed on the top and bottom or left and right edges of the
screen. These areas will not be recorded.

You can switch between viewfinder and screen display by
pressing the viewfinder’s [

] button.

If you have selected MENU (= 31) ► [ 1] tab ► [Display
Control] ► [Manual], the screen will not be activated when you
move your eye away from the viewfinder. To activate the screen,
press the viewfinder’s [

] button.

Motion is displayed more smoothly (whether on the viewfinder
or on the screen) in [

], [ ], [

], [

], or [ ] mode

when a viewfinder is used. If you prefer normal display and longer
battery life, choose MENU (= 31) ► [

1] tab ► [Display

Mode] ► [Power Saving].

Display will switch to the camera screen during Wi-Fi
communication (= 133) or when the on-screen keyboard
(= 32) or Story Highlights home screen (= 130) is displayed.

You can configure display brightness (= 162) for the viewfinder
and camera screen separately.
