Indicate that these items can be adjusted or

changed. Stop after blinking six times unless an

adjustment is made.

• Icons blinking also indicate warning and errors.

• When the [ON/OFF] + [MODE] buttons are simultaneously pressed (two-button reset) for

approx. 2 sec., the display blinks three times (p. 19).

t Using the SU-800 in low light

Press any button on the SU-800 to turn the illuminator on (when the SU-800’s

power is on), and it will remain lit for about 16 seconds.

• The SU-800’s control button illuminator comes on when the camera’s LCD panel

illuminator is turned on.

• The control button illuminator goes out when the shutter is released.

t Characteristics of the LCD panel

• Due to the directional characteristics of LCDs, the LCD display is difficult to read when

viewed from above. However, the display can be seen clearly from a somewhat lower

angle.

• The LCD display becomes darker at high temperatures (approx. 60°C/140°F), but returns

to normal at normal temperatures (20°C/68°F).

• The LCD’s response time slows down at low temperatures (approx. 5°C/41°F and below),

but returns to normal at normal temperatures (20°C/68°F).
