LCD screen operation

john mood · 05-26-2013, 12:12 PM

For some reason my K-5 LCD screen no longer shows data during normal shooting, but works for all other inputs, i.e. menu, info, etc. Have I somehow disabled it ?
If it is a mechanical failure, I'm lucky to have just bought a new K-5IIs which is great.

Press the info button a few times

Pushing the info brings up a table matrix of what options I have set. Flying a glass cockpit 737 had less options in the computer.
Thanks for your service Heie.

Do you mean you no longer get the 'Instant review' display popping up for a few seconds after an image is shot? That is a menu option under Menu > Record mode 5 > 'Instant review'. (p-296 of the K-5 manual).

Or have you lost the 'Guide display' (p-293 of the manual) or the 'Status Screen' display (p-295)?

Thanks for your service Heie.

And, if you hit info a second time, so you not get a screen where to,select what is shown on the display?

I have finally figured out the issue. Although i've never been into the status screen menu where there is enable or not, for some reason this box unchecked itself. How that is possible, don't know.
But I'm standing by my story. Now back in operation but with the new K-5IIs, who cares. Thanks for the suggestions.
