The Sumo19 is controlled via an intuitive touchscreen interface. Icons and buttons have been designed and laid out in a specific way to ensure operation is simple and fast.

The high definition 1920x1080 Home Screen displays all necessary technical and functional information.

Everything important for operation and adjustment is no more than one touch away. Here is how it works:

Touching the center of the screen at any time removes the top interface overlay, tapping again clears the bottom controls and a third tap brings all the options back up. Active Shot Setup or Monitor assist functions that are enabled will remain active when the menu system is cleared. This is to allow you to use the Shot Setup and Monitor assist functions at all times while shooting.
