The screen also serves as a monitor for the interface of some camera controls. Different types exist : TFT(Thin Film Transistor) and DSTN(Double Super Twisted Nemantic) are the most common. The TFT screen is brighter and has superior color and contrast to the DSTN. However, TFT consumes more electricity than DSTN. 4, record 2, English, - LCD%20screen
