Turning the Monitor Off

To clear shooting or flash information from the monitor, press the R button or press the shutter-release button halfway. The monitor will turn off automatically if no operations are performed for about 10 seconds. For information on choosing how long the monitor remains on before turning off automatically, see A > Custom Setting c4 (Monitor off delay, 0 Monitor off Delay).

The & Indicator

The camera clock is powered by an independent, rechargeable power source, which is charged as necessary when the main battery is installed or the camera is powered by an optional power connector and AC adapter. Two days of charging will power the clock for about three months. If the & icon flashes in the information display, the clock has been reset and the date and time recorded with any new photographs will not be correct. Set the clock to the correct time and date using the Time zone and date > Date and time option in the setup menu (0 Time Zone and Date).
