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 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.

2Press the 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 right of the viewfinder, press the SHUTTER button all the way down to take the picture.
