Using the diopter control

The rubber eye piece on the viewfinder is a diopter control that you can turn to adjust the focus in the microdisplay. However, the diopter control has NO effect on the actual picture you take or video clip you record.

Taking still pictures

You can take a picture almost any time the camera is on, regardless of what is being shown on the active display. Your

camera has two modes for taking still pictures: Still mode

and Self-Timer mode.
