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 less accurate. Preview your picture on the image display when precise framing is important, especially when you are taking a close-up shot.
