Choose when the control panel and button backlights light.

  • If [Off] is selected, the backlights will light when the power switch is rotated to D. The backlights turn off when the shutter-release button is pressed.

  • If [On] is selected, the backlights will light while the standby timer is active. Note that this increases the drain on the battery. The backlights will turn off while the shutter-release button is pressed, but will turn on again when the button is released.
