Using the Image LCD as a Viewfinder

Instead of framing your photo through the viewfinder, you can use the image LCD. To optimally frame your photo, use the image LCD when you are taking photos using Macro or Digital Zoom. For more information on Macro, see “Using the Focus” on page 20. For more information on Digital Zoom, see “Using the Digital Zoom” on page 22.

To frame your photo using the image LCD:

1.Slide the mode switch up to the camera icon.

2.Slide the image LCD switch up to turn the image LCD on.

3.Point the camera at your subject and preview the photo on the image LCD.

4.Press the shutter button half way to allow the camera to focus and adjust the exposure. When you see the green light next to the viewfinder, you are ready to take your photo.

5.When the subject is optimally framed, press the shutter button all the way down to take the photo.

Note: For faster flash recharging time and extended battery life, use the viewfinder to frame your photos.
