Touch Screen Operations

Solution

The camera's LCD monitor is a touch-sensitive panel that you can operate with your fingers.

Tap
  • Use your finger to tap (touch and let go) the LCD monitor.
  • By tapping, you can select menus, icons, etc., displayed on the LCD monitor.



When touch-screen operation is possible, a frame will appear around the icon (except on menu screens).
For example, when you tap [ ], the Quick Control screen appears. By tapping [ ], you can return to the preceding screen.

IMPORTANT
Cautions for Touch Screen Operations
  • Since the LCD monitor is not pressure sensitive, do not use any sharp objects such as your fingernail, ballpoint pens, etc., for touch operations.
  • Do not use wet fingers for touch screen operations.
  • If the LCD monitor has any moisture or if your fingers are wet, the touch screen may not respond or misoperation may occur. In such a case, turn off the power and wipe the LCD monitor with a cloth.
  • Do not attach any protective sheet (commercially available) or sticker on the LCD monitor. It may make the touch operation response slow.
  • If you quickly perform touch operation when [Sensitive] is set, the touch response may be slower.
