Menu Position MENU --> 1 --> Monitor Brightness
What it Does Lets you specify the brightness of the rear LCD screen, from -2 to +2. Also provides a “Sunny Weather” mode so you can compose your shot in bright sunlight
Recommended Setting Manual +1, unless you’re at the beach.
This function allows you to change this from AUTO to MANUAL and then set it from -2 to +2. My personal preference is to set it to +1.
The menu also provides a “Sunny Weather” option which makes the screen as bright as possible. Not good if you’re looking for exposure or color accuracy (and viewing it indoors), but I’ve found that when you’re shooting outdoors on a bright day (especially at the beach or snow), this feature is essential just to let you see the shot you’re composing. On the other hand, those are EXACTLY the conditions for which the EVF was made.
TIP: When shooting either 4K or any form of High Frame Rate (100 / 120 fps) video, the setting for Monitor Brightness and Viewfinder Brightness (next section) are ignored. |
