      Readjust the brightness of the LCD monitor and viewfinder. Check if the [ND FILTER] switch is set to “1/16”, or if the iris is closed. Also, verify if the shutter speed setting is too high or if the amount of peaking is too little. To adjust the contour for the LCD monitor image and viewfinder image, use the [LCD/VF Peaking] menu by adjusting the contour of the viewfinder image. (The contour of the LCD monitor will also be adjusted at the same time.) This can be found under [Main Menu] B [LCD/VF] B [LCD/VF Peaking].
