BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
Using the Optical Viewfinder
You can conserve battery power by turning off the
cameras monitor screen (page 31) and using the optical
viewfinder to compose images.
IMPORTANT!
The frame that is visible inside of the viewfinder
indicates the image recorded at a distance of about
one meter (3.3´). When the subject is closer than one
meter, the recorded image will be different from what
you see inside the viewfinder frame.
The monitor screen turns on automatically whenever
you select the Macro mode or Manual Focus mode.
Always use the monitor screen to compose images
in these modes.
