• When shooting in mode, the camera will use the subject in the center of
the picture as the focus target.
Note: Composing using image in Viewfinder.
When composing a picture using the image in the Viewfinder, the actual image
recorded is shifted slightly (due to a phenomenon known as parallax) compared
to the image in the Viewfinder. Especially when shooting close-ups, the effect of
parallax becomes more pronounced and the edges of the image seen in the
Viewfinder image may not be included. Use of the Monitor is therefore
recommended for close-up (Macro) shooting at distances of less than 90 cm/35
in. The parallax compensation marks in the Viewfinder indicate the
compensation required when the subject to camera distance is 60 cm/24 in.
Note: Digital zoom
When using the Digital zoom, the image in the Viewfinder is different from the
actual image recorded. Make sure to check the image in the Monitor.
• To zoom out and see more in the Monitor or Viewfinder, press the Zoom
button. This sends the lens to the wideangle position.
To zoom in and make the subject appear closer, press the Zoom button.
• When the lens has zoomed to the full telephoto position with the Monitor turned
on, the Digital zoom then allows a further magnification of up to 4x (p. 63).
