Control Panel
The monochrome control panel on top of
the camera displays some of the same
shooting information that appears in the
viewfi nder, but there are also some settings
that are only displayed here.
This LCD allows you to view and change
the settings without looking through the
viewfi nder.
Because there is so much information con-
tained in the LCD display, it is broken up
over two fi gures. In fi gure 1.10, you can see
these settings:
Shutter speed. By default, this set
of numbers shows you the shutter
speed setting. This set of numbers
also shows myriad other settings
depending on which buttons are
being pressed:
