●
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 (
=
50) 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.
●
The screen will not be activated when you move your eye away
from the viewfinder if you have selected MENU (
=
31) ► [
1]
tab ► [Display settings] ► [Display Control] ► [Manual] and then
[Manual display] ► [Viewfinder].
●
Motion is displayed more smoothly (both on the viewfinder
and screen) in [
], [
], [
], [
], or [
] mode when
you select MENU (
=
31) ► [
1] tab ► [Display Mode] ►
[Display priority] ► [Smooth]. At this time, setting [VF display] to
[Fast] makes motion on the viewfinder even smoother but may
make motion on the screen choppier.
●
Display will switch to the camera screen during Wi-Fi
communication (
=
133) or when the on-screen keyboard is
displayed (
=
32).
●
You can configure display brightness (
=
162) for the viewfinder
and camera screen separately.
●
To reduce the shooting screen, choose MENU (
=
31) ► [
1]
tab ► [VF display format] ► [Display 2].
