Chapter 2: Taking pictures and recording video clips 25
Using live view
You can use the Image Display as a viewfinder to see a more
accurate view of what your picture or video will look like. This
is useful for close-up pictures and for instances in which
framing your subject precisely is important.
NOTE Using the Image Display consumes a lot of battery
power. To preserve batteries, use the viewfinder instead.
To turn on Live View, press the Live View button.
The following table describes the information that is displayed
in the Live View screen when the camera settings are at their
default values.
