Cannon S80 Using the LCD Monitor

Image Seen in Viewfinder vs. Recorded Image

Please note that the actual image may differ from the image seen in the optical viewfinder due to the physical separation between the viewfinder and lens. This is called the parallax phenomenon and is more noticeable the closer the subject is to the lens. In some cases, portions of images shot up close that appear in the viewfinder will not appear in the recorded image. Please use the LCD monitor to shoot images up close.

Shooting with an Off-Center AF Frame Selected

You should always use the LCD monitor to compose images when you have selected an off-center AF frame. When setting the AF frame to the desired position to shoot an image, please use the LCD monitor (See Selecting an AF Frame p. 60)
