Previewing your pictures

Instead of looking through the viewfinder to frame a picture, you can use the image display to preview a picture. The image display shows exactly what your picture will look like, whereas the viewfinder is slightly accurate. Preview your picture on the image display when precise framing is important, especially when you are taking a close-up shot.

Note

Using the image display consumes a lot of battery

 

power. To conserve battery power, the camera

 

automatically turns off the image display after 60

 

seconds if you do not press a button.
