STILL PHOTOGRAPHY MODE
If you use the viewfinder to take a picture
in Macro mode, the field visible through
the viewfinder does not match the field
actually photographed because the
viewfinder and lens are in different
positions. Accordingly, you should use
the LCD monitor to take pictures in
Macro mode.
