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 shows an image area smaller than what the camera actually captures. 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.

1Press the PREVIEW ( ) button to turn on the image display.

2Frame your picture in the image display by pointing the camera lens at your subject.

3Press and hold the SHUTTER button halfway down to allow the camera to adjust the focus and exposure.

4When you see the steady green light to the right of the viewfinder, press the SHUTTER button all the way down to take the picture. Wait for the beeps that indicate that your picture has been taken, and then release the SHUTTER button.

To turn off the image display, press the button.
