your subject.

Previewing your pictures
Instead of looking through the viewfinder to frame a picture, you
can use the image display to preview a picture. The image display
shows exactly what your picture will look like, whereas the
viewfinder is slightly accurate. Preview your picture on the image
display when precise framing is important, especially when you
are taking a close-up shot.
Note Using the image display consumes a lot of battery
power. To conserve battery power, the camera
automatically turns off the image display after 60
seconds if you do not press a button.
To preview a picture
1 Turn the camera on.
2 Press the button to turn the image display on.
3 Frame your picture in the image display by pointing the camera
lens at your subject.
4 Press and hold the SHUTTER button halfway down to allow the
camera to adjust the focus and exposure.
5 When you see the steady green light to the right of the
viewfinder, press the SHUTTER button all the way down to take
the picture.
To turn the image display off, press the button.
