I'm experimenting with my new GRD2 and trying various configurations and noticed some strange behavior. When I turn the display off and try to use the Fn button to set MF or SNAP mode, sometimes the info/symbol display overlay doesn't turn on. If I take a picture or push the menu button a couple of times the info display wakes up again. I've only seen this indoors where the light is dim.
These are my settings:
Menu:
Info Displ. "On"
Function Button "AF/MF" or "AF/SNAP"
Mode "A" (don't think this matters)
These are the steps to reproduce this:
-Try this indoors
-Press DISP until picture display is off
-Turn camera off
-Turn camera on
-Point camera at dark area of the room or a dark object
-Half-press shutter to initiate focusing
-Push any button that would turn on the info display like Fn button to switch focus mode or aperture wheel
At this point the info display should come on, but it doesn't if I have tried to focus in a dimly lit room. All I see is the faint backlight of the display. If I take a picture the display goes back to normal behavior again.
Anyone else seen this behavior? Strange indeed.
I'd appreciate any feedback so I can determine if I should send the camera in to have it fixed.
Thanks,
Thomas
