161 About the LCD Panel Display for AF360FGZ The AF360FGZ does not have the function to set the FORMAT size to [DIGITAL], but the difference in angle of view between standard 35-mm format and the q is automatically calculated based on the focal length of the lens used (when using DA, D FA, FA J, FA or F lenses). The conversion indicator appears and the format size indicator disappears when the exposure metering timer of the q is on (it returns to 35 mm format display when the exposure metering timer is turned off).
