Adjusting rear screen brightness on K3

**woodywesty** · 10-05-2016, 02:50 PM

Is it possible to dim the rear screen on the K3 and K3ll so that it isn't so bright during night shots? I was recently with a group of photographers doing night sky shots and everybody else (nikon and canon shooters) were able to dim their screens while mine was way too bright. I've checked the manual but can't find an answer. Thanks

Yes, it's under the first wrench menu, lcd settings. You can adjust brightness and color (page 24 in the manual where they list all menus)

Setup menu 1, bottom option, LCD display settings.

Thank you and microlite. I had seen that in the manual but assumed that it only adjusted the brightness of the lcd on top of the camera and not the monitor on back! I will give it a try... ;-)
