- If you select [Setting Effect OFF], you can easily check the composition even when shooting with the image composition on the Live View display.

Hint
- When you use a third-party flash, such as a studio flash, Live View Display may be dark for some shutter speed settings. When [Live View Display] is set to [Setting Effect OFF], Live View Display will be displayed brightly, so that you can easily check the composition.

- When [Setting Effect OFF] is selected, the
(VIEW) icon is displayed on the Live View screen.
