[QUOTE="okulo, post: 496491, member: 40687"] I haven't really bothered with the LCD screen when out taking photos but today I thought I'd play around to see how it feels. I was aware that there is a proximity sensor to automatically turn the display off when it detects one's face (or any other object) near the viewfinder and that when the display is disabled, the right half of the display can be sed as a control surface. I thought I'd try this out but discovered that the display is only disabled if the screen is in 'Info' mode; i.e. with the 'rotary' control display and not in either the menu mode, playback mode or the info control mode (the info display where settings can be changed). Doesn't this seem counterintuitive? Surely, one doesn't want one's nose toughing menu options or control options accidentally, so why not disable the display in all modes when the proximity sensor is triggered? Or maybe my camera is defective. Could somebody please tell me if their camera behaves the same way? And if this is normal behaviour, could somebody please explain the logic? [/QUOTE]
