K-S2, its one second display, and the 18-135

I woke in the middle of the night with the idea that somehow the 18-135 lens being older had corrosion on its leads that in some way interfered with just the one second delay and not with the saved raw file.  So when the sun came out I rushed into the back yard with the 16-85 lens.  Shot a few photos and the one-second delay was fine.  Ah ha I thought, my midnight theory was right.  But then to be sure, I shot a few photos with the 18-135 and . . . they were fine as well.  So much for my theory, and in thinking it over after a cup of coffee it doesn't make sense.

And so the one second delay was dark on a dark day probably because I was messing with the modes and . . . it was a dark day.  Can't think of anything else, and I'm going to try to quit worrying about it.

I have K-S2, but I do not know about this one second display this thread is about.  What is it?  Can someone enlighten me?  Thanks.

Joey,

First, you have to have your "veri-angle monitor turned so that you can see its LCD screen.  Then, after you have taken a photo, look down at your LCD screen and you will see the shot you just took displayed for one second.

If you don't see the display, go to screen 4 in the menu and you will see "Instant Review."  The default setting is "1 sec"  You can change this setting, to 3 sec, 5 sec, and hold.  But you can also turn it off; so if you don't see it, this is what you may have done.  You can also add a histogram to the display.

Got it.  It's the instant preview.  Thanks for the clarification Lawrence!
