About the LCD Panel
Characteristics of the LCD panel
• Due to the directional characteristics of LCDs, the LCD panel is difficult
to read when viewed from above. However, it can be seen clearly from a
somewhat lower angle.
• The LCD panel becomes darker at high temperatures, but returns to
normal when the temperature decreases.
• The LCD’s response time slows down at low temperatures, but returns to
normal when the temperature increases.
LCD panel illuminator ON/OFF
Any button or switch will activate the SB-5000 illuminator (when the
SB-5000 power is on) to make the LCD panel easier to read.
• The illuminator goes off if the SB-5000 is not operated for 16 seconds.
• The LCD panel illumination can be canceled in the setup menu (

the SB-5000’s LCD panel illuminator lights up when the camera’s control
panel illuminator lights up.
