C The Electronic Viewfinder
The viewfinder is a smaller version of the monitor
and can be used when bright ambient lighting
conditions make the display in the monitor diffi-
cult to see.
D The Monitor
The monitor shows the view through the camera
lens together with icons indicating the status of
various camera settings during shooting (
6). The
monitor is also used to review the pictures that you
have taken (
31, 84).
When folded out as shown, the monitor can be
rotated forward 180°, and backward 90°.
When the monitor is not in use, you can fold it onto
the camera body as shown to protect it from dust
or fingerprints.
When the monitor is pointing in the same direc-
tion as the lens, it can be folded back onto the cam-
era body for shooting or playback.
You can take self-portraits by rotating the moni-
tor to point in the same direction as the lens; the
monitor will show a mirror image of the final pic-
ture.
