Changing the viewfinder exposure metering/AF bottom line timeout

[sdean7855]

I want to set the default timeout (which is now about 4-6 seconds) that the status line at the bottom of the viewfinder display stays on.  It's too short, and sometimes it times out beforeI can set it.  I would have thought that this was the Metering Timer, but that has to do with LiveView, rather than normal picture taking and does change the timeout duration

Hi, sdean7855!

So that the Community can help you better, we will need to know the camera model you are using.

Thanks and have a great day!

I have a gold level Canon Professional Services membership and so contacted CPS.  I was cheerfully told that the duration is not adjustable and asked for that to be made adjustable.  Rats.
