BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
Using the Optical Viewfinder
Turning off the camera’s monitor screen and using its optical viewfinder to compose images helps to conserve battery power.
Focus Frame
Short distance to subject | Viewfinder frame |
IMPORTANT!
•The frame that is visible inside of the viewfinder indi- cates the image recorded at a distance of about three meters (9.8´). When the subject is closer or further away than three meters, the recorded image will be different from what you see inside the viewfinder frame.
•The monitor screen turns on automatically whenever you select the Macro Mode or Manual Focus Mode. Always use the monitor screen to compose images in these modes.
Adjusting the View of the Optical Viewfinder
You can use the diopter slider to adjust the view of the viewfinder to match your eyesight. Adjust the diopter slider so the image in the viewfinder is clear.
