Previewing your photos

Instead of looking through the viewfinder to preview a photo, you can use the image LCD to preview a photo. The image LCD shows exactly what your photo will look like, whereas the viewfinder shows slightly less than what the camera will actually capture. Preview your photo on the image LCD when precise framing is important, such as when you are taking a close-up shot.

Notes: If you are using the digital zoom, you must preview the photo on the image LCD to see the effect of the zoom. See “Using the digital zoom” on page 44.

To conserve battery power, the camera automatically turns off the image LCD if you do not take a photo within 60 seconds.

To preview a photo:

1.Slide the lens cover open to turn the camera on.

2.Press the image LCD on/off button to turn the image LCD on.

3.Frame your photo in the image LCD by pointing the camera lens at your subject.
