Deciding Whether to Use the Viewfinder or
Monitor According to Working Distance
Monitor
Monitor button
Snapshot, landscape, etc. (approx. 1.5 m/4.9 ft. to infinity)
Hold the camera securely, keeping your upper arms
pressed close to your body, to prevent camera shake.
Use the
viewfinder
Close-up of a person (approx. 0.5 m to 1.5 m/1.6 ft. to 4.9 ft.)
Close-up images can usually be shot using the
viewfinder, but using the monitor may be
advantageous in certain cases.
Use either the
viewfinder or
monitor
Very short distance (0.2 m to 0.5 m/8 in. to 1.6 ft.)
When the subject is closer than 0.5 m/1.6 ft., use the Macro
mode. Shooting without using the Macro mode is also
possible, but correct focus may not be possible.
The image area shown in the viewfinder is slightly different
from the image area that is actually recorded. When shooting
a close-up, confirm the image on the monitor.
