BASIC SHOOTING OPERATIONS
Features of the viewfinder and monitor
Viewfinder
Camera can be held more steadily and
the subject can be seen clearly even in
bright surroundings. Also, less battery
power is required.
The image area in the viewfinder may be
different than that of the actual picture
when the distance from the subject is
short.
Easy shooting of multiple snapshots or
landscape images, etc.
The actual area of the image (as it will be
shot) can be confirmed.
The camera tends to shake more easily
and the image will not be so clear when
the surroundings are bright or dark. Also,
battery power consumption is high.
Accurate shooting by checking the area
that will be actually be captured when
you take the picture. The monitor is
switched on automatically when the
Macro mode (
Page 61) is used.

Viewfinder
Area of image actually shot
ⅷ With the viewfinder, the area of the image actually shot
is larger than the area observed in the viewfinder.
ⅷ As shown is the figure, the area of the image actually
shot may differ slightly from the area observed in the
viewfinder when the working distance is short.
For best results, use the Macro mode ( Page 61) when the subject is located
at a distance of less than 0.5 m/1.6 ft. from the camera. Shooting is possible
without using the Macro mode, but in some cases correct focus and exposure may
not be achieved.
