AF point illumination

[Gado]

Hey
I just switched from a Nikon D60 to a D90 and I noticed that when the AF point illumination turns on, the entire viewfinder gets a red tint.
Whereas with the D60 only the current AF point lights up red.

Is it normal on the D90, for the view finder to turn red? I am used to only the AF points lighting up.
Also it seems like the brightness of the illumination changes.
Is there a way to lock it to bright, it is hard to see when the scene is dark.

Thanks

What you see as red haze is scattered led light hiting the frosted glass plate which is normal for this type of camera. If you choose the option for grid lines to show up on the view screen, you will see that even the grid lines are illumnated! You will get used to it in time.

I have not noticed the entire viewfinder getting a red tint on mine. However, as Raoul mentioned, the grid lights up and also as you mentioned the AF point does not seem to illuminate properly. Seems normal. I have not learned of a way to change the brightness yet.

This can also depend on which focusing mode you're in. The D90 has a lot more focus points, so if you're using the automatic AF, it could be choosing multiple points at the same time.
