About the LCD panel
• Because of the directional characteristics of the liquid crystal, the LCD is difficult to read when
viewed diagonally from above; however, the display can be seen clearly from a somewhat
lower angle.
• The LCD panel display tends to be darker at high temperatures (approx. 60°C/140°F). When
the temperature returns to normal (20°C/68°F), the display also returns to normal.
• The LCD’s response time tends to slow down at low temperatures (approx. 5°C/41°F and below).
When the temperature returns to normal (20°C/68°F), response time also returns to normal.
Using the SB-80DX in dim light
Press any button on the SB-80DX to turn the illuminator on (when the SB-80DX power is on), and it will
stay on for approx. 16 seconds. To cancel the LCD panel illuminator, go to the Custom settings mode
and set it to OFF (p. 13).
