Image Seen in Viewfinder vs. Recorded Image

Usually the recorded image is wider than the image seen in the viewfinder. Confirm the actual image size with the LCD monitor.

The image recorded may differ from the image seen in the viewfinder due to the distance between the viewfinder and lens (especially with close-ups). If you use the viewfinder to take close-up shots, portions of the close-up subject may not appear in the recorded image. Use the LCD monitor when taking close-up shots.

About the Autofocus Function

This camera employs AiAF (artificial intelligence autofocus) technology which uses a broad metering field to calculate the focal distance with high precision. It delivers a crisp focus even when the photographic subject is slightly off-center.

The AiAF function can be turned off so that the autofocus is metered from a fixed AF frame at the center of the field (p. 76).
