Previewing your pictures

Instead of looking through the viewfinder to frame a picture, you can use the image display to preview a picture. The image display shows exactly what your picture will look like, whereas the viewfinder is slightly less accurate. Preview your picture on the image display when precise framing is important, especially when you are taking a close-up shot.

Note

Using the image display consumes a lot of battery

 

power. To conserve battery power, the camera

 

automatically turns off the image display after 60

 

seconds if you do not press a button.

 

 

To preview a picture

1Turn on the camera.

2Press the IMAGE DISPLAY ON/OFF ( ) button to turn the image display on.

3Frame your picture in the image display by pointing the camera lens at your subject.

4Press and hold the SHUTTER button halfway down to allow the camera to adjust the focus and exposure.

5When you see the steady green light to the left of the viewfinder, press the SHUTTER button all the way down to take the picture.

To turn the image display off, press the button.

Understanding automatic focus and automatic exposure

The camera adjusts the focus and exposure automatically for the current lighting condition. You are more likely to catch the perfect shot, especially when you are photographing an active subject, if you set the camera’s focus and exposure early. To do this, press the SHUTTER button halfway down, and then press the SHUTTER button all the way down at the exact moment you want to capture the image.
