To prevent the monitor turning off should you accidentally trigger the eye sensor with your face or hands while composing photographs, use the monitor mode button to select "monitor only" mode. "Prioritize Viewfinder" When"prioritize viewfinder"is selected for monitor mode, the camera behaves much like a traditional digital SLR: in photo mode, putting your eye to the viewfinder turns it on and displays the view through the lens, but the shooting display does not appear in the monitor when you take your eye away. Menus and pictures can still be displayed in the monitor using the G and K buttons. "Prioritize viewfinder" mode is recommended for current or former users of digital SLR cameras who prefer to frame hand-held shots in the viewfinder. 11
