BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
About the REC Mode Monitor Screen
• The image shown on the monitor screen in the REC
mode is a simplified image for composing purposes. The
actual image is recorded in accordance with the image
quality setting currently selected on your camera. The
image saved in file memory has much better resolution
and detail than the REC mode monitor screen image.
• Certain levels of subject brightness can cause the
response of the REC mode monitor screen to slow down,
which causes some static noise in the monitor screen
image.
Using the Optical Viewfinder
You can conserve battery power by turning off the
camera’s 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.
