When photographing a subject that is closer than approx. 1.5 m (4.9 ft.) from the camera, the area within the frame shown in the diagram on the left will be in the picture. Compose the picture so that the subject that you want to photograph is within the frame.
When taking close ups, an area seen through the viewfinder and the area seen by the lens and actually photographed will be different. This is because the viewfinder and lens are not in the same position, a difference known as “parallax”. The parallax correction guides indicates the difference between what the viewfinder sees and what the lens sees when the picture is taken.
