!
To frame your shot precisely, you should take the
picture using the LCD monitor.
●
!
In some conditions it may be difficult to see your
subject clearly on the LCD monitor, such as in sunny
weather outdoors or when you are shooting dimly lit
scenes. In such situations, use the viewfinder to take
the shot.
●
!
The image shown on the LCD monitor before you
take the shot may differ in its brightness, color, etc.
from the image actually recorded. If necessary, play
back the recorded image to check it (➡P.31).
Ensure that your fingers or the camera strap do
not obscure the lens or flash control sensor.
●
!
There may be some unevenness in the brightness at
the lower edge of the LCD monitor. This is normal
and does not indicate a fault. This does not affect
the photographed image.
●
!
Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the
lens as described on P.104.
●
!
If you use the flash in very dusty conditions or when
it is snowing, white dots may appear in the image
due to the flash reflecting off the dust particles or
snowflakes. Try taking the shot with the flash mode
set to Suppressed Flash.
