Hi!
This seems like a very basic question, but after searching the manual and the web, I still can't find an answer.
When I half-press and release the shutter button, the camera turns on the display on the viewfinder that shows the shutter speed, aperture, exposure level indicator and ISO speed. But it automatically turns off after about 4 seconds. I've looked through all the menus and I can't find how to increase this timeout so the information is shown for a longer period of time.
Help?
Thanks!!

I don't believe that is an adjustable value.

It will. Keep shooting and look at your settings to see exactly what they did.

I have the same problem as the original poster. This is an incredibly annoying "feature" and makes the AE lock virtually useless as the exposure lock is lost after 4 seconds. Stupid. Canon, Please fix this in a firmware upgrade

Too few fingers and there is no reason you should have to hit a button every ~3 seconds to allow you to compose your shot. 😕
