[. . . ] This metering mode is less influenced by extremely bright or dark areas at the edge of the scene. SLOW SHUTTER The shutter control range is between 1/2000 and 1/8 second. With the flash mode set to flash cancel (p. 19) or when using one of the subject programs (p. 20), turning the slow-shutter function on with the multi-function recording menu (p. 24), extends the shutter control range: 1/2000 to 2 seconds. The extended shutter-speed range of the slow-shutter function allows greater detail to be recorded in very dark conditions. However, because of longer shutter speeds, the camera should be mounted on a tripod to ensure sharp pictures. LCD MONITOR BRIGHTNESS The brightness of the LCD monitor can be set in seven levels. After selecting the LCD brightness option on the multifunction recording menu (p. 24), the LCD brightness screen will be displayed. Use the left/right key of the controller to adjust the brightness level; the live image will change accordingly. To set the level, press the center of the controller. The LCD brightness level will affect all modes. LCD brightness COLOUR MODE The colour mode controls whether the recorded image will be colour or black and white. This must be set before the image is recorded; the live image on the monitor will reflect the selected colour mode. When using the viewfinder, take care to reset the colour mode after taking monochrome images; the B&W icon will be displayed on the data panel when the black and white setting is active. The colour mode has no effect on image file size. The colour mode is set on the multifunction recording menu (p. 24). 29 PLAYBACK MODE PLAYBACK MODE VIEWING AND EDITING IMAGES VIEWING PICTURES 1 Still images can easily be viewed in playback mode. To view images, turn the mode dial to the playback position (1). Simply use the left/right key of the controller (2) to scroll through the pictures on the memory card. Images can be displayed with date, frame number, image size, folder number, and file number. The date is displayed for three seconds and the folder and file number are activated with the file-number option on the playback menu (p. 32). Controller 2 When an image is displayed on the LCD monitor, a low-resolution display is shown first and then a high-resolution display is written over it a few seconds later.
