The INFO button

The INFO button does a heap of things.

1. In general, press Info to swap between several screen displays when you think that you are entitled to be able to control some parameter or see that is not obviously on the screen that faces you.

Case: The perplexing issue of the LCD screen display.

First, there is the Screen Button on the left of the Electronic View Finder. This Screen Button offers a choice of two primary modes

Screen Button

A. Show SCP

B. Don't Show SCP

Info Button

1. Display SCP

2. Display Blank Backlit Semi Black Screen

3. Optionally Display Level Indicators if

Note: Custom Menu > Cog D (Display / Sound / PC) > Image Settings > LV Info offers

  • Image Only (Tick mark to allow)

  • Custom 2 (Tick mark to allow)

Case: Art Filter

    • Now you have liveview using that Art Filter

      • If you want to swop to another Art Filter, press Ok and the catalogue of Art Filters will appear

      • If you want to adjust exposure, metering pattern etc... i.e. you want Super Control Panel, press Ok to display the catalogue of Art Filters then press INFO at that screen to display the SCP.

Case: Remote Control Flash Mode

    • Camera 2 > Flash RC Mode will then display the Remote Control dialog for Flash Control when you press Ok.

    • Press INFO at the Flash Remote Control dialog and you get to the Super Control Panel

3. You want to adjust one parameter

Case: Overfriendly flyover explanatory text appear on the menu panels

(and they slow you down when you are furiously trying to walk the menu tree.)

With the top level menu facing you, press INFO (thanks to Tony Tulloch who relayed this from our other friends)
