Switching between color and

For the EVF screen, color or monochrome display
can be selected.
Select “EVF” from the LCD/VF SET menu then
select “Mode.”

focusing are easier on the monochrome display.
If you assign “EVF Mode” to one of the
assignable buttons (see page 57), you can switch
between color and monochrome by pressing the
button.
Adjusting the contrast and brightness
Select “EVF” from the LCD/VF SET menu and

Using the eyecup (supplied)
A large eyecup is attached to the EVF at the
factory. It can be removed by pulling it out, if not
neccesary.
To reattach the eyecup, stretch it a little to attach
to the EVF and fit the rim of the eyecup into the
horizontal groove of the viewfinder.
