[Question] How can I make it display the information when the picture display is OFF.

The [Info Disp] setting is useful when you want to display the information only without an image in the picture display, such as when using the external viewfinder.
When the [Info Disp] is set to [On], the information is displayed in the following cases.
- When the [Self-timer] button or [Macro] button is pressed.
- When the mode dial setting is switched.
- When the up-down dial is roated.
- When the ADJ. lever is pressed to the left or right during manual exposure mode.
- When either of the [AF/MF], [AF/Snap], [JPEG>RAW], [Color>B&W], or [Color>TE] is set in [Function button] and the Fn button is pressed.
- When the Flash open switch is pressed to open the flash.
The information display disappears and the picture display turns off again in the following cases.
- When nothing is operated for several seconds, after the information is displayed
- When the shutter release button is half-pressed
See the camera user guide, page 177 for the details on the Info Disp setting.
[Note]
- Regardless of the [Info Disp] setting, a menu appears when the ADJ. lever or the Menu/OK button is pressed, even if the picture display is turned off.
- Regardless of the [Info Disp] setting, the picture display turns on if you operate either of the following, even if the picture display is turned off.
- When you press the ADJ. lever, Menu/OK button, DISP. button, or Playback button.

- When you press the Up/Down arrow button during manual focus.
