Using the Optical Viewfinder to Shoot
The camera is equipped with an optical viewfinder.
• Compose images so that the autofocus
crosshairs in the center of the viewfinder is
aimed directly at the subject.
• You can adjust the viewfinder with the diopter
adjustment lever to adapt to your vision so that
the subject appears in crisp focus.
• The viewfinder has a field of vision of
approximately 84%.

The Parallax Phenomenon
Please note that the actual image may differ from the image seen in the optical
viewfinder due to the physical separation between the viewfinder and lens. This is
called the parallax phenomenon and is more noticeable the closer the subject is to
the lens. In some cases, portions of images shot up close that appear in the
viewfinder will not appear in the recorded image. You are recommended to use
the LCD monitor to shoot images up close.
Shooting with an Off-Center AF Frame Selected
You should always use the LCD monitor to compose images when you have
selected an off-center AF frame (p. 68).
