2. To adjust the display brilliance, use the cursorpad (W or X) or the BRILL key (set-
ting range: 0 to 15, default: 14 for day mode/6 for night mode).
3. To adjust the panel brilliance, use the cursorpad (S or T) (setting range: 0 to 9,
default: 7 for day and night modes).
4. Press the MENU/ESC key to close the setting window.
Note 1: The default settings for night mode is 6 for [Display] and 7 for [Panel]. If the
display is difficult to see when switching to the night mode, use the cursorpad (X) to
increase the display brilliance.
Note 2: Whenever the brilliance mode is changed, the last-used brilliance for the selected mode is set.
Note 3: When the brilliance is preset, the background color is also preset (see
paragraph 2.1.1). So both the brilliance and the background color are restored to the
default when long-pressing the key.
