ALERT

When using the VIEWFINDER to take close-up pictures, there will be a slight difference between what you see and what the camera records through the lens, referred to as parallax. Be mindful of this difference in close-up situations using the viewfinder.

Note:

When taking photos using the VIEWFINDER with the LCD Monitor off, pushing the MENU button will turn on the function display menus so you can change settings for different situations. (See pages 26, 32-34.)

You can turn off the menu display by pressing the MENU button again.
